Architecture

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the Germans carried out very extensive regothisation works in the castle.

The area of Neuschwanstein Castle is about 6000 square meters. There are 200 rooms, most of which are unused.

Its cost is estimated at $4.5 million in 1962 (over $44 million today).

The official opening of the building was conducted by U.S. President Herbert Hoover, who illuminated the skyscraper by pressing a button in his office in Washington.

Napoleon and his entourage stayed at Schönbrunn Palace in 1805 and 1809.

The building serves as a lightning rod. About 100 lightning strikes the spire of the skyscraper each year.

During the bombing of 1945, the Zwinger was almost destroyed.

Throughout World War II, the clock functioned flawlessly and rang bells.

Beginning in September 1945, the palace became the headquarters of the British occupation forces, whose Viennese sector included the two neighboring districts 12 and 13.

The Alcázar of Seville, as well as the city's largest cathedral in the world and the 18th-century archive, are on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
