1. Neuschwanstein Castle (Germany)
新天鹅城堡(德国)
The fantasy castle about which other fantasy castles have fantasies. This elaborate slice of Romanesque Revival perches on a hilltop above the village of Hohenschwangau in southern Germany. It was crafted in the late 19th century (between 1869 and 1886, to be precise), to the ostentatious tastes of Ludwig II, King of Bavaria. Sadly for the man in question, he died in the same year that his dream residence was finished. His consolation (in the afterlife anyway) is that Schloss Neuschwanstein (whose name translates as New Swanstone Castle) has become the blueprint for such wildly flamboyant structures. It was the inspiration for the “Sleeping Beauty Castle” which lights up Disneyland in California.
新天鹅城堡是梦幻城堡中的梦幻城堡。这座古罗马式复兴风格建筑坐落在德国南部霍恩施万高村的一个山顶上,是为了迎合巴伐利亚“疯王”路德维希二世的奢华品味于19世纪晚期(准确时间是1869到1886年)兴建的。可惜的是,城堡建好的同一年路德维希二世就去世了。能让他(在来世)感到安慰的是,新天鹅城堡后来成为了奢华梦幻城堡的模板。美国加州迪士尼乐园睡美人城堡的灵感就来源于新天鹅城堡。
2. Lichtenstein Castle (Germany)
利希滕斯坦城堡(德国)
The south of Germany has a thing for castles which sigh with splendor. Not too far from Neuschwanstein (110 miles to the north-west, in the neighbouring state of Baden-Wurttemburg), this stately pile was built in the Gothic Revival style between 1840 and 1842. It perches on an escarpment in the Swabian Jura, some 250 metres above the Echaz River – its position all but demanding that any passing princes clamber up its walls to rescue any princesses who happen to be inside. Even more romantically, the ruins of its own medieval predecessor on the bluff, Burg Alt-Lichtenstein, sit immediately next to it.
