新天鹅城堡Neuschwanstein Castle

Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as homage to Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, not with Bavarian public funds. The palace was intended as a personal refuge for the reclusive king, but it was opened to the paying public immediately after his death in 1886. Since then over 60 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with up to 6,000 per day in the summer. The palace has appeared prominently in several movies and was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and later, similar structures.

新天鹅城堡是一座建立于19世纪的罗马复兴式建筑，它坐落在旧天鹅堡村，距离巴伐利亚州西南部的菲森镇非常近。这座宫殿是巴伐利亚王路德维希二世下令建立的休息寓所，同时也是向理查德·瓦格纳致敬的宫殿。路德维希自己出钱修建的这座宫殿，使他借了大量外债，但并没有动用巴伐利亚公共基金。新天鹅城堡可以说是一个个性封闭的国王的“个人避难所”，但是在1886年国王死后，这里就开始对外开放，并成为一个收费的旅游胜地。此后这里先后接待了6千多万名游客。每年这里都会接待130万名游客，夏季每天都会接待6千名游客。曾经有几部电影在拍摄期间来新天鹅城堡取景，同时它也是迪士尼乐园建立睡美人城堡等其他类似建筑时设计灵感的来源。
