新天鵝城堡Neuschwanstein Castle

Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as homage to Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, not with Bavarian public funds. The palace was intended as a personal refuge for the reclusive king, but it was opened to the paying public immediately after his death in 1886. Since then over 60 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with up to 6,000 per day in the summer. The palace has appeared prominently in several movies and was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and later, similar structures.

新天鵝城堡是一座建立于19世紀(jì)的羅馬復(fù)興式建筑，它坐落在舊天鵝堡村，距離巴伐利亞州西南部的菲森鎮(zhèn)非常近。這座宮殿是巴伐利亞王路德維希二世下令建立的休息寓所，同時也是向理查德·瓦格納致敬的宮殿。路德維希自己出錢修建的這座宮殿，使他借了大量外債，但并沒有動用巴伐利亞公共基金。新天鵝城堡可以說是一個個性封閉的國王的“個人避難所”，但是在1886年國王死后，這里就開始對外開放，并成為一個收費的旅游勝地。此后這里先后接待了6千多萬名游客。每年這里都會接待130萬名游客，夏季每天都會接待6千名游客。曾經(jīng)有幾部電影在拍攝期間來新天鵝城堡取景，同時它也是迪士尼樂園建立睡美人城堡等其他類似建筑時設(shè)計靈感的來源。
