Neuschwanstein Castle is a building in the late 19th century. It is located in the southwest of Bavaria, Germany, about 4 kilometers away from the town of Fussen. This white castle stands high on a hill and is surrounded by mountains and lakes. The scenery varies throughout the year. It has been a classic tourist attraction in Germany for several years, attracting tourists from all over the world.

The founder of Neuschwanstein Castle was King Ludwig II of Bavaria. This king has no political talent, but is full of artistic temperament. He dreams of building the castle into a fairy tale world. Ludwig II personally participated in the design of this castle, which has a large number of German swan sculptures. The unique shape of Neuschwanstein Castle has inspired many modern fairy tale castles, including Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland in California and Hong Kong Disneyland.

Gothic churches (the first two are Seville Cathedral and Milan Cathedral). It was built in the middle of the 13th century, and the work continued intermittently. It was not completed until 1880 by Kaiser Wilhelm I. It took more than 600 years and is still being repaired to this day.

3. Mary's Square Mary's Square

Marian Square can be said to be the heart of the old city. It has maintained its central position in Munich since ancient times, so it is also a must-visit place for travelers. Its original name was Schrannen. Due to the spread of cholera, the plague spread. The local residents prayed devoutly for the blessing of the Virgin Mary. The result was very effective. In order to express their gratitude, the square was renamed Marienplatz.

Before 1807, there was a market in Marianne Square. Most of the buildings around the square today were built in the 19th and 20th centuries. There is a Madonna Column in the middle of the square, which expresses people's devotion to the Virgin Mary. Gratitude and love. There is a fish spring in the northeast corner of the square, which used to be the place where butcher apprentices held their apprenticeship ceremonies. The New Town Hall (Neus Rathaus) and the Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) are both located here. Every day at 11:00 am, tourists gather at Marienplatz to watch the bell tower musical instrument performance.
