I remember the first time I saw a picture of this castle. How awe inspired I was, thinking about the rich history it must have
Medieval battles, royalty intrigue, the noble lineage of kings and queens past who once called this castle home
I dove into researching the castle and immediately saw that it wasn’t completed until over 20 years after the US civil war as a vanity project for a king that didn’t live to see it completed
It’s just a really pretty castle, and that’s enough

…i visited fourty years ago; it was pretty lush…
Yeah; it’s almost like a movie set. A lot of the interior was never realised after the original vision, and is now used mainly for exhibits.
If you want the real deal. The closest thing to a fairytale castle i have ever visited is Burg Eltz beside the Mosel river.
Fun sidenote: The Neuschwanstein castle banquet hall was intentionally copied from the banquet hall at the Wartburg by Eisenach…
