Wikipedia: Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner. Although public photography of the interior is not permitted, it is the most photographed building in Germany and one of the country's most popular tourist destinations.
