This was one of our favorite places to visit when we were in the Munich or Garmisch area. Some say it’s just another one of Ludwig’s castle but it seemed special to us. It was built on the site of an earlier castle and was pretty much completed in 1882. Construction actually went on for many years after. It was opened to the public after Ludwig’s death around.
There was a neat little gasthaus with a small hotel very close but I can’t even remember the town name. I have heard that this castle was the castle that Disney patterned his Sleeping Beauty castle after. I remember the similarity from the opening of the Sunday evening Disney TV shows.
When I was managing In Europe (Jostens) in the 80’s we had a ring option showing the castle. You could have a school mascot, sport or the castle. It was a pretty popular option.
