Schloss Hohenschwangau, a castle near Neuschwanstein
The Hohenschwangau castle is slightly less known than Schloss Neuschwanstein, but is absolutely no less in terms of beauty and history. From 1832 to 1836, the neo-Gothic castle was build by crown prince Maximillan of Bavaria from the ruins of the ruined castle Schwanstein. King Ludwig II spent his childhood here and it served as the romantic summer and hunting residence for the Bavarian royal family.
The four striking corner towers and walls with battlements give the castle a medieval appearance. The design of the castle Schloss Hohenschwangau is in Biedermeier style and contains more than 90 murals by Moritz von Schwind and Ludwig Lindenschmit. The castle is a nice addition if you are staying in the region for a longer period of time; many tourists only visit the fairytale castle Neuschwanstein.
