Neuschwanstein Castle sits atop a rocky hill in Bavaria, Germany. King Ludwig II began building it in 1869 because he adored tales of brave knights like Lohengrin, the Swan Knight. The castle’s white towers, golden rooms, and secret passages make it look like something out of a fairy tale. Even Walt Disney thought so. He used the castle as a model for the Sleeping Beauty Castle in his famous theme park.
