Building began in 1869, and Ludwig II spent only a few months in it before he died in 1886. The castle was one of the models for the castle in Disney's 睡美人 (Sleeping Beauty).
memory
The Chinese name copies the German one piece by piece: 新 "new" for Neu-, 天鹅 "swan" for -schwan- and 堡 "castle" for -stein.
