Neuschwanstein Castle atop the Bavarian Alps

Perched majestically above the lush green forests of southwest Bavaria, Neuschwanstein Castle commands attention as one of Europe's most iconic castles. Its Romanesque Revival architecture stands out against the clear blue sky dotted with wispy clouds. This fairy-tale palace was built for King Ludwig II in late 19th century by famed architect Friedrich Bürklein according to his vivid imagination inspired from various legends like Parsifal and Lohengrin. It overlooks the valley where you can see distant fields stretching towards the horizon beneath an azure sky that enhances its enchanting beauty making it appear almost surreal.
