The New Swan Castle, Germany


This is the Neuschwanstein Castle or, English, the new swan castle. It is better described as a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace. The building has become iconic and for most people, this is what a castle should look like. I posted another photo of the castle but I liked this particular photo better and decided to post another one. Quoting from the Wikipedia article entitled, "Neuschwanstein Castle:"
The castle was intended as a home for the king, until he died in 1886. It was open to the public shortly after his death. Since then more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer.
I was there with at least 6000 people.
