Schloss Linderhof (Linderhof Palace)

Linderhof was the king’s private retreat near Garmisch in the Wetterstein Mountains

Hotel Müller Hohenschwangau

Hotel Müller Hohenschwangau in Schwangau, Germany

Neuschwanstein (King Ludwig's New Castle)

This is the most iconic castle ever. In fact, Neuschweinstein was the model for Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom and certainly influenced animators for all those childhood movies that defined "castle" in my mind.
