Situated at an altitude of 3,306 feet above sea-level, Neuschwanstein Castle is built in the style of the late romanesque period of the early 13th century in imitation of a medieval castle-fortress. It was commissioned in 1869 on the behest of Bavaria`s King Ludwig II , who has come down to us in history as Bavaria`s `Mad King`. It was quite advanced for it`s day with running water throughout the castle, flush toilets, hot water, and a warm air heating system. Walt Disney used it as inspiration for his Disneyland fairy tale castle.
