Castle Design: The Neuschwanstein Castle

http://architecture.about.com/od/greatbuildings/ig/New-Wonders/Neuschwanstein.htm

The Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19^th century Romanesque Revival palace in Schwangau, Germany designed by architect Eduard Riedel. The palace was commissioned and paid for by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, as a personal refuge. However, his death in 1896 prevented him from living there and was opened to the general public shortly after. Ludwig II of Bavaria had a great interest in design and decoration and influenced the architecture of the castle. The castle’s grand scale, and theatrical design resembles a castle from a fairytale. (ABOVE) I love this photograph of the castle. The castle has the most magical feel, it's also set in such a picturesque landscape. (BELOW 1) The castle's windows are absolutely breathtaking. In addition, the castle's towers are very fairytale like. I wish my house had a tower! (BELOW 2) The beauty of the snow and white facade of the castle create a stunning shot. You can add as little or as much to your space as you want. Don't follow rules, just do.
