1832 – 1836: Crown prince Maximilian of Bavaria had the ruin of Schwanstein Castle being rebuilt in neo-Gothic style. This is where King Ludwig II spent his childhood.

Schwangau is located on the foot of the Alps in the Allgäu area with an impressive view of the Bavarian, Lechtal and Allgäu Alps. It is the country of the Royal Castles, mountains and lakes, the most beautiful area of the Ostallgäu. The two world famous Royal Castles overlooking the village from their majestic position: Brave and unreal Neuschwanstein Castle, romantic and friendly Hohenschwangau Castle.
