Neuschwanstein provided an inspiration to Walt Disney for the Sleeping Beauty Castle. In 1869, Schloss Neuschwanstein was being built by King Ludwig II. It was never completely finished, and the king only got to spend about 170 days there before his mysterious death in 1886.
Schloss Hohenschawangau where King Ludwig II spent his childhood. It was reconstructed in the 1830s by his father, Max II, but was originally built during the 12th century by the Schwangau knights.
