Neuschwanstein Castle was built under the rule of King Ludwig II as a tribute to composer Richard Wagner. The castle is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany.

It was constructed during the 19th century near Füssen, Germany and was a finalist in the selection of The New 7 Wonders of the World contest.
