Location:
Neuschwanstein castle
is a 19th-century
Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill
near Füssen in
southwest Bavaria
(Germany).
Description:
The palace was commissioned by
Ludwig II of Bavaria
as a retreat and in honour of Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune
and by means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds.
The castle was intended as a home for the king, until he died in 1886.
It was open to the public shortly after his death.
Since then more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle.
More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer.
