Neuschwanstein Castle's Secret

Neuschwanstein Castle's Secret

The world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany, was used as a depot for the Nazis' stolen art during World War 2, with orders to blow it up that were never carried out by the SS officer in charge. Its fairytale look later inspired Walt Disney to create Cinderella's castle in the 1950 film, and the Neuschwanstein Castle became the basis for the Disney logo shown before every Disney film and the Cinderella Castle in Disneyworld, Florida.
