Strange king's castle
The first stone in the construction of Neuschwanstein Castle, which adorns all guidebooks to Bavaria with its photos, was laid in 1869. King Ludwig II, distinguished by his extraordinary deeds, this time surpassed himself.
A small palace was erected on a mountain plateau, which was obtained by blowing up a rock on the site of two medieval fortresses. The main idea of its interior is illustrations for Wagner's operas, with whom the king was dearly friends for many years.
Neuschwanstein served as the prototype for the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland near Paris, and it was here that Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky conceived his ballet Swan Lake. He was inspired by the motives of the interior architectural decoration, in which there are swans. This bird served as the heraldic symbol of the family of Ludwig II.
