Disney's Castle

Well, not really ~ but this is the one used as the model for many a fairy tale castle ~ King Ludwig II of Bavaria was a man born too late. He was not happy living in a modern world where his birthright did not carry the same weight that it would have 100 years earlier. So, what else could he do, but spend his fortune trying to recapture that time of regal privilege. Many would say that his masterpiece is the unfinished castle just a mountaintop away from his childhood home of Hohenschwangau: Neuschwanstein!
