El Castillo de Neuschwanstein es el más famoso de toda Alemania y es famoso por haber sido el modelo que utilizó Walt Disney para el castillo de la Bella Durmiente. Iniciado por el rey Ludwig en 1869, les llevó a los más de cientos de artesanos de todo el mundo más de 16 años, y solo se pudo construir un tercio del total. Neuschwanstein se alza sobre el valle de Hohenschwangau. Desde afuera se ve una fabulosa obra de arquitectura medieval, una verdadera pieza de los cuentos de fantasía; pero el interior es una mezcla de estilos bizantino, romano y gótico, que se deja entrever en los espectaculares tallados y murales. Recorran el castillo y luego contémplenlo del Puente de María para observar todo su esplendor.
