Author Topic:   Where is this castle candii52 Member posted 08-19-2004 11:00 PM             Does any one know the name of the castle in Europe that Walt Disney used as a model for his Sleeping Beauty castle, and what country it is in? Merlin Senior Member posted 08-20-2004 04:08 AM             It's no castle, it's a mansion of the 19th century. It's name is Neuschwanstein and it's situated in Bavaria which is a part of Germany. LA_Maverick Member posted 09-15-2004 08:25 AM             That's right! The castle from which the miniature creation of Disney Land has been inspired is "Neuschwanstein" from the southern part of Germany called "Bayern" (usually called Bavaria by foreigners). It is considered to be the most formidable castle by many. It's also got a really outstanding history... as it's been "ordered" by a very controversial king (Louis II), deemed to be mad. You’ve definitely got to check it out if you can!!!

Maybe one of the years I'll be able to visit this mansion and all the "real" castles I've thought about.
