Hohenschwangau Castle is a 19th century palace, built on the remains of the fortress Schwangau. Located in the south-western German village of Hohenschwangau and just a ten minute bus ride from the town of Füssen, it is very close to the Austria border.

Looking up at Hohenschwagau Castle

Built by King Maximilian II of Bavaria, it is also the childhood residence of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Hohenschwangau was the official summer and hunting residence of Maximilian, his wife Marie of Prussia, and their two sons Ludwig (who would become King Ludwig II of Bavaria) and Otto (who also later would become King Otto I of Bavaria).

Swan Garden at Hohenschwagau Castle

All of the fountains in the garden reflect the romantic program of the palace’s rooms.  The Swan Fountain, shown above, reflect the local identity and knighthood.

Glimpse of Neuschwanstein Castle from Hohenschwangau Castle

While in the Swan Fountain Garden you can get a glimpse of Neuschwanstein Castle on the mountain above.  As a child the later King Ludwig II experieinced these mountain regions and romantic murals of Hohenschwangau Castle.  This was the beginning of  his dream to build his own castle – Neuschwanstein!
