Schwanstein Castle of the knights of Schwangau

The knight's castle at this place was known since the XII century. It was called Schwanstein and it belonged to the family of Schwangau knights. When in the XVI century the knight's family line was interrupted, the castle began falling into decay and turning into ruins. And in 1829 when Maximilian, Crown Prince of Bavaria was travelling in this area, he purchased the land with the ruins of the castle.
