Sleeping beauty doesn't live in this castle, and neither did King Ludwig who had the castle built. But this is definitely the definition of a perfect castle. So perfect in fact that Disney made a copy of this castle for Disney Land, the big one in front! If there is anyone I wish that could have seen this today with me is Nawnee because she is in total love with Disney Land. The scenery from the very top of this castle was breath taking, you could see all the amazing hills, forests, rivers, farms, and the lake that King Ludwig and his doctor died in.
The castle was decorated so extravagantly with gold paintings, a two thousand pound chandelier, mosaic floors and huge bed frames carved from wood. The king dedicated the entire castle to one of his favorite composers at the time (I cant pronounce his name so i surely cant spell it, sorry) but the composer never actually saw the castle before he died as well. The castle was only about one third completed when the king died and they halted construction.
We took a mini bus to the top of the hill but coming down we took a horse carriage! So cute and definitely the most romantic experience in the world, to take a horse carriage up to the top of a hill to a fairy tale castle. Well not so romantic for me with 50 other people but I am sure it could be very romantic with a loved one. <3
