Neuschwanstein Castle

The Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany served as the inspiration for Disney's vision of the Cinderella Castle in the animated film. This photochrom -- a colorized image made from a black and white negative -- was taken in the 1890's, not 10 years after the castle was completed.
