--- My Home Is My Castle ---

Hohenschwangau Castle, which belongs to the neo-Gothic style, was first mentioned in a document in 1090 as "Castrum Swangowe" as the dwelling of the knights of Schwangau. Over the centuries the castle was heavily damaged. In 1832 Crown Prince Maximilian acquired the castle and had it rebuilt into today's castle. After his death, his son, King Ludwig II, took over the property and had it redecorated according to his preferences. The castle is located directly opposite Neuschwanstein Castle, built for Ludwig II, in the Hohenschwangau district of the municipality of Schwangau near Füssen in Bavaria.
