One of the most visited castles in Germany, Neuschwanstein (literally translated - "new swan cliff") stands against the backdrop of the fabulous scenery of the Alps, as the backdrop for the film fantasy. Even more wonderful story of the castle, because it was conceived as a refuge for the reclusive king. Ludwig II had to ascend to the throne when he was not yet 20 years old. His life was full of setbacks and disappointments, because the king was immersed in a fantasy world, building fairy castles in remote, inaccessible areas. These creations were produced so luxurious that the king called "fabulous." He even wanted his designs destroyed after death. It is noteworthy that marvelous Neuschwanstein Castle was the childhood dream of Ludwig II, which so attracted tales, drama, and the Middle Ages.

Crane working on a steam-powered, raised stoitelnye designs, which are then adjusted by means of lifting blocks. In the castle of Hohenschwangau, which is next door, the king has a bedroom with a telescope, with which he oversaw the construction of Neuschwanstein.
Every detail of the castle reflects the restless and eccentric nature of the king, his passion for the works of Wagner's interest in the life of medieval kings, the desire to escape into a dream world. Inside the castle walls are decorated with murals depicting scenes from the fairy-tale operas of Wagner, a close friend of Ludwig. Swan logo - one more important detail in the image of the castle. King identified with the swan knight, a tragedy which was infinite loneliness. In the living room of the castle is the symbol of The Legend swan - a massive vase.
When the king died, construction stopped. The third floor of the castle and knight's room remained unfinished, the main 90-meter tower was not built at all. Inside the castle is no less luxurious. Above the headboard of the king, adorned with delicate wooden carvings, 15 craftsmen worked for four and a half years.
