With towering white turrets, Neuschwanstein Castle is not a medieval fortress but a fanciful 19th century palace built for Ludwig II of Bavaria. Ludwig II died before the castle was completed. Eventually the graceful building was named
Neuschwanstein, which means
new swan stone.
Neuschwanstein Castle was a finalist in the campaign to choose the New 7 Wonders of the World.
