I don't think it is actually 12th Century. I may be wrong, but I believe it was built in the 19th by Ludwig II.

The castle’s history dates back to the 12th century when it served as a fortress to protect the strategic road between Italy and Germany. However, it was King Maximilian II, the father of Ludwig II, who transformed Hohenschwangau into a magnificent palace in the 19th century. Under his visionary eye, the castle underwent extensive renovations, resulting in the charming neo-Gothic structure we see today.

When I look it up - the castle overlooking Hohenschwangau is named Neuschwanstein and is built in the 19. century. It is said that it inspired Walt Disney to the castle in the movie Cinderella.

I used to live in Germany and France and visited several castles and took tours. This one was my favorite. Hohenzollern Castle near Stuttgart, Germany, dates back to the 11th century on this one!

This End is Glaring at the Camera....but its Helmut Newton's wife.

 

[saddlebum66]

A truly great End but she leads me to a question....How do these Ends manage to lose their Britches so frequently? But thats life in a Heart-shaped World.
