    The castle that inspired Disney

    From Bavarian fortress to dream icon: how Neuschwanstein became the blueprint for Disney castles.

    Walt Disney visited Neuschwanstein in the 1950s and was captivated. Its soaring towers and turquoise roofs became the model for Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland (1955) and later Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World (1971) — now the very symbol of The Walt Disney Company.
