Neuchwanstein Castle

Neuchwanstein Castle

(The castle is in the background... up in the mountains)

"Eulogy in stone to a musical genius, Neuchwanstein Castle beckons from its Alpine setting far behind a country church near Füssen. Bavaria's King Ludwig II was so taken with Richard Wagner's operas that he built this castle expressly to capture the spirit of their soaring romantic strains."
