King Ludwig's Old Neighbour
Welcome to the house of my childhood memories. It is located right below the castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, surrounded by lakes and mountains. Inspired by the contrast between heritage and sharing economies, the designer Michl Sommer and his team of featuring-amsterdam have created this microcosm inside the traditional neighbourhood of Hohenschwangau. The 180 sqm living area provides generous space, and the 1'400 sqm garden is large enough for football games.

Haus am Lech
Modern apartment right on the Lech. The apartment consists of a modern kitchen , a bedroom (double bed), a bathroom with shower and toilet, and an entrance area with a cloakroom. The apartment is set back in the courtyard/garden or on the Lech and completely on the 2nd floor. Above the Lech you can enjoy a romantic view of the former monastery of St. Mang and the High Castle at your feet. Shopping, strolling, dining out... possible without transportation.

Ulrice Vacation Rental
Welcome to my fine apartment on the 3rd floor, with wonderful views of the mountains and the castle including unique sunrises. You can easily reach everything from here by bike (e.g. castle and Alpsee 25 min, Schwansee 15 min) and you are within 5 minutes walking distance of Lake Forggensee. A breakfast on the balcony or in winter the cozy warmth of the wood-burning stove, my open and light-flooded apartment invites you to relax ✨ Best regards, Ulrice✨🩷

beautiful apartment with castle view
I live in Berlin. This apartment used to be mine and is located in my parents’ house in Schwangau. I currently manage the rental for my parents. They live on site, and I take care of the Airbnb management for them :) Important: Please do not book this accommodation if high-speed Wi-Fi is important to you. The Wi-Fi is unfortunately not very fast. Instead, put your phone away and enjoy the nature, the surroundings, and especially the beautiful view! :)
