The other day, the name of ‘Neuschwanstein’ Castle came up in my German language class, and our tutor gave a description of it. But what I found more interesting was the description given by one of my classmates who has visited it, and this made me look up the term on the Net.
Typically, I gave a Google-search, and as is increasingly the case, the first link led to the Wikipedia site. Here I discovered the castle for myself… Translated as the ‘new swan stone’ castle, Schloss Neuschwanstein (pronounced shloss noitchwahnstein, with the ending syllable to rhyme with mine), this is an indescribably beautiful castle in the state of Bavaria in Germany.
It has been the inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty’s castle in Disneyland and looks so exactly like a dream castle in a fairy-tale… Perhaps this is the castle that every little girl or boy who has read fairy-tales dreams of owning or at least visiting some day!
