Europe is full of stories about kings and queens, and there are many castles, most of them are centuries-old, are still standing and send an indescribable feeling to all the visitors. A few castles were closed for public viewing for safety purposes, but some are maintained and continuously being renovated to provide enough proof that such castles did existed and still does. Among the grandest castles in Europe is the Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, Germany. It stands three thousand and six feet above sea-level and exhibits the
Romanesque style which depicts arched towers, windows, and portals.
The year was 1869. King Ludwig II of Bavaria built his third castle in Hohenschwangau. The construction of the palace took almost two decades. According to the story, the castle has not been really finished because right before the completion of his fairy tale castle, the King was drowned, and this untimely death also put a stop on the construction. The interior of the Neuschwanstein showcases
Catholicism inspired paintings.
This massive, haunting, elegantly-built, and holy castle, though located on a mountain, still receives six thousand visitors on a daily basis during summer time. Unfortunately,
digital cameras and video recorders are not permitted inside the castle, but visitors will surely enjoy the exciting walk to the Alps, and the mystery of Neuschwanstein castle.
