Neuschwanstein Castle was built from 1869 onwards at the behest of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. He wanted to build it as homage to Richard Wagner but Wagner never entered the castle. Ludwig II paid for the castle out of his personal fortune and through extensive borrowing, but he died before the finishing. Actually Ludwig II never wanted that visitors enter the castle but only six weeks after his death the first people visited it. Now more than 1300000 people visit the castle every year. The castle was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle.
