Sleeping Beauty's REAL home!




Heavenly is what comes to mind when I remember visiting the Neuschwanstein Castle in the village of  Hohenschwangau (Southwest Boveria, GEMANY).  King Ludwig II,  apparently paid for this castle with his personal funds (via borrowing) instead of public funds. The castle (built in 1869) was meant to be a personal retreat for the king, however shortly after his death,  it was opened for tourism. Today, over 61 million people have enjoyed this heavenly place.  This castle is probably most famous today as being the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty castle :).
