Neuschwanstein Castle (German: Schloss Neuschwanstein, lit. New Swan Stone
palace; pronounced [nɔʏˈʃvaːnʃtaɪ̯n]) is a 19th-century Bavarian palace on a rugged hill
near Hohenschwangau and Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was
commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner,
the King's inspiring muse. Although public photography of the interior is not permitted,
it is the most photographed building in Germany and is one of the country's most
popular tourist destinations.
Ludwig did not allow visitors to his castles, but after his death in 1886 the castle was
opened to the public (in part due to the need to pay off the debts Ludwig incurred
financing its construction). Since that time over 50 million people have visited the
Neuschwanstein Castle. About 1.3 million people visit annually, with up to 6,000
per day in the summer. The palace has appeared in several movies, and was
the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Park and for the Cinderella
Castles at the Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland.
The palace is owned by the state of Bavaria, unlike nearby Hohenschwangau Castle,
which is owned by the head of the house of Wittelsbach, currently Franz, Duke of Bavaria.
The Free State of Bavaria has spent more than €14.5 million on Neuschwanstein's
maintenance, renovation and visitor services since 1990.
