Our Little Visitor girl and Adventure Time boy with their baskets of goodies are ready to explore a new Bavarian castle. They are traveling to the Neuschwanstein Castle, situated on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. It is a setting truly out of a fairy tale dream world. Commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria to honor the composer Wagner, over 60 million people have visited the castle since its completion in 1886. What a spectacular adventure for our charming Hummel duo!
Chances are you've seen the Neuschwanstein Castle before in shows and movies throughout the years. The castle, whose name means "New Swanstone Castle" in English, has been featured in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Great Escape, and was the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's castle in the classic Disney animated movie. This gorgeous palace is a castle straight out of a child's fantasy world, and we've brought it to life in stunning detail in these fabulous collector's plaques.
