"Neuschwanstein, a 19th-century palace near the Alps in Schwangau, Germany, is often credited as the muse for Cinderella’s castle, arguably Disney’s most iconic fictional design. King Ludwig II of Bavaria commissioned the real palace as a retreat and payed for it with his own private funds. However, he died before construction was completed and never had the chance to live in it." - Katherine McLaughlin
