Neuschwanstein Castle and Hohenschwangau Castle.

Neuschwanstein Castle was used for Sleeping Beauty's castle by Walt Disney. King Ludwig had it built as a summer palace and it took 17 years to build but he was deposed and died 2 weeks after. The second floor was never finished. We took a horsedrawn carriage up to the castle but had to walk back down.
Hohenschwangau Castle was one of the homes of the Bavarian royal family. It was still used by royalty until early 1900's when Prince Luitpold lived there until he died.
You are not allowed to take photos inside the castles.
