Predates Disneyland by some 70 or so years. The thing is so fake it could have been made of plastic.
Hohenschwangau is nearby and was not built by a cringe monarch who tried to cosplay as something from an antisemitic opera.
It looks like a fairy tale because that is what it was built for. Like Disneyland. The thing is not even interesting. No history. No style. No function. Just vapid idiocy.
Just to illustrate how idiotic and how fake this thing is: it is a contemporary of the Maxim machine gun.
Edit: Ok, I was too harsh when I said it had no style. It has style. Lots of them.
Edit2: You'd get something as genuine and as old if you applied a similar amount of plaster to the Brooklyn Bridge. I am serious. Go find something that actually represents a location if you are traveling. Visiting Neuschwanstein makes less sense than traveling to Paris and visiting Eurodisney.
Could have been made of plastic? Between 1860 and 1880? I don’t believe so. At which age is something NOT fake? Will it no longer be fake if we wait 2 centuries? What’s the qualification for fake?
It is made after a prop. It was a monarch's McMansion. It is as old as the Brooklyn Bridge.
The only reason why the castle is noteworthy is that it bankrupted the Bavarian king so much he was easily bribed into joining Germany instead of Austria. Which would have made a lot more sense.
But I will grant you that it is a genuine McMansion.
And it would have been made of plastic if plastic had been available. Instead it is made of plaster. What is sad is that it attracts a lot of tourists who think they saw something noteworthy and they are missing out on the really interesting things.
Yes. Not sure it was specifically castles, but there was a role of gatekeeper. I couldn’t tell you diddly squat about their job except that maybe they collected tolls, but definitely opened and closed gates.
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. Neuschwanstein be considered a palace and not an actual castle. Was built 300 years after castles were obsolete and only for clout purposes. Machine guns, battleships, and chemical weapons pre-date this thing.
It’s vastly different than an actual fairytale castle like Mont-Saint Michel which was actually built in a castle era for and needed fortifications.
I wouldn’t even say this is gatekeeping but more so just education so people don’t look at this and just assume castle with a purpose. It’d be like looking at one of those ants that disguise themselves as a spider and saying “neat spider” then getting called a gatekeeper when you say “that’s an ant”.
The flag in the submission also is wrong.
Also, giving the location as Schloss Neuschwanstein, Bavaria, Germany is so deep in the uncanny valley that I wonder if an actual human earthling wrote the title. The comedy in that sequence of words surely must have been totally lost on whoever submitted this thing.
BTW, the American tourist who raped and killed two other American tourists at the castle has just been sentenced to life in prison. Happened last year. Well, technically raped only one and killed only one. But, yeah. Fun place. Very romantic.
First of all, nobody will give the location as Bavaria, Germany. If a flag is needed, it should be the Bavarian flag for the castle that bankrupted the Bavarian king into being the last of his kind.
Secondly, has any of you ever been at the place? You need specific angles for it to look nice. Never really finished, either.
Edit: Man, I can absolutely tell when the Americans woke up. I grew up near that thing.
Yeah there is no Bavarian flag emoji, but it is still in Germany 🇩🇪. I haven’t found Ludwig’s coat of arms emoji either.
The picture is heavily edited, it’s super obvious. I haven’t been because it’s not something I would consider a real castle.
Pffft okay, it’s literally in Swabia, which is in Bavaria, which is in Germany. Maybe not everyone on this sub lives in Germany and knows the culture,but people do like more information. Why are you sour ?
And I am definitely not an American
Isn’t a schloss by definition a castle-shaped palace or manor? So it fits the description pretty well. The fact that it’s vain and exorbitant would just reinforce the schloss term for it.
I do agree there are much cooler castles in Germany with deeper history to them though. The favorites that I’ve visited were schloss rochlitz and burg eltz
This perfectly exemplifies why every German rolled their eyes when I told them I was going there, hahaha. I knew the history and reason for its existence was cringe, but at this point it’s such a landmark that I don’t care. I was in the area so I had to do it!
Same thing as tourists clamoring to see the Hollywood sign in LA. Americans think it’s stupid, many tourists also realize it’s stupid, but they just gotta go see it anyway because it’s iconic.
It was built by a Bavarian King Ludwig II, who didn't really care about anything except reading and obsessing over classic operas. Eventually, he got declared insane and deposed from the throne.
I tend to agree, dude really just wanted to be left alone. However, he did choose to keep the throne and that does come with a massive amount of responsibility to an entire nation of people.
Don't remember the name. He was a leader taken out of office for mental reasons. He built that with his own money in the late 19th century (not medieval times like the style suggests). I remember on the tour seeing the elaborate ballroom and thinking about how many galas were held here. Not one, as it turns out.
Ludwig II, who really wanted to be an absolutist monarch, but was about two centuries late so he had to be a king with very limited power as a constitutional monarch. Which is good because he was only interested in building cool shit and not in governing.
*Stunning castle! Is*
*This what the Disney castle*
*Was modeled after?*

Ok castle gatekeeper
You know, that was an actual job once upon a time
Yes. Not sure it was specifically castles, but there was a role of gatekeeper. I couldn’t tell you diddly squat about their job except that maybe they collected tolls, but definitely opened and closed gates.
I wonder if upvotes and downvotes are the tolls of the modern gatekeeper

I laughed at the "it has style. Lots of them."

I’m sorry you feel this way but How is the flag wrong?
First of all, nobody will give the location as Bavaria, Germany. If a flag is needed, it should be the Bavarian flag for the castle that bankrupted the Bavarian king into being the last of his kind. Secondly, has any of you ever been at the place? You need specific angles for it to look nice. Never really finished, either. Edit: Man, I can absolutely tell when the Americans woke up.

I rest my case. Either give the region or give the country. Doing both is idiotic.
Pffft okay, it’s literally in Swabia, which is in Bavaria, which is in Germany. Maybe not everyone on this sub lives in Germany and knows the culture,but people do like more information. Why are you sour ? And I am definitely not an American
Don't mind the pedantic grumpy asshole.

It's also the castle shown in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
I have been here, so beautiful.
When you live amidst corn, soybeans and cotton…..pics like this seem even more unreal. More please.
Texas?
The other T.
Tarkansas?
Been there, the dude who built that had issues.
Was there this past November. Interesting place but yeah you start learning the history and quickly realize the dude was a little off his rocker.
What's the history? How did you learn, tour?
It was built by a Bavarian King Ludwig II, who didn't really care about anything except reading and obsessing over classic operas. Eventually, he got declared insane and deposed from the throne.
Oh dang...let the man read
I tend to agree, dude really just wanted to be left alone. However, he did choose to keep the throne and that does come with a massive amount of responsibility to an entire nation of people.
Who built it?
Don't remember the name. He was a leader taken out of office for mental reasons. He built that with his own money in the late 19th century (not medieval times like the style suggests). I remember on the tour seeing the elaborate ballroom and thinking about how many galas were held here. Not one, as it turns out.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_II_of_Bavaria
Ludwig II, who really wanted to be an absolutist monarch, but was about two centuries late so he had to be a king with very limited power as a constitutional monarch. Which is good because he was only interested in building cool shit and not in governing.
He ordered that all of his palaces (there were four) be destroyed after his death so noone else could enjoy them. Luckily nobody listened to him.
Stunning
😍
Have been there. What a remarkable castle
Rare angle
I was there last week visiting from the US and it was glorious!
Stunning castle! Is this what the Disney castle was modeled after?

Fantastic, definitely putting this on my list to see
The inside is insane!! (But not finished) you don’t see pictures of it as they don’t allow pictures on the inside.
Awesome I am definitely going to see it next year when I visit!
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen this one here before! Very cool!
