– King Ludwig II of Bavaria

Wikipedia has a page called:

Neuschwanstein Castle

Game Info

City must be built within 2 tiles of a mountain that is inside your territory.

+2 Happiness Happiness
+4 Culture Culture
+6 Gold Gold
+3 Gold Gold, +2 Culture Culture, and +1 Happiness Happiness from every Castle.

Strategy

Neuschwanstein is a very useful Wonder, and highly beneficial if built in one of a civilization's cities that meets the requirements for it (i.e. a city within 2 tiles of a mountain inside the civilization's territory). A big empire with many Castles will reap especially great benefits from Neuschwanstein.

If a player who constructs Neuschwanstein adopts the Professional Army policy from the Honor tree (or, in Brave New World, adopts the Autocracy ideology and selects the Fortified Borders tenet), that player's Castles will provide a total of +3 Gold Gold, +2 Culture Culture, and +2 Happiness Happiness each.

Given that the AI has a tendency to avoid settling cities near mountains, AI players will rarely, if ever, attempt to build this Wonder. This can be a considerable advantage, because once Railroads has been researched, City-States will give quests for Neuschwanstein, and it can be built without competition (given a city that has a mountain nearby, that is).

Note that mountainous Natural Wonders within 2 tiles of a city (Grand Mesa, Mt. Fuji, Old Faithful, Cerro de Potosi, Mt. Kailash, Mt. Sinai, Sri Pada, Uluru, King Solomon's Mines and Mt. Kilimanjaro) often may not count as mountains for the purpose of building Neuschwanstein.

Civilopedia entry

Commissioned by the "Mad King" Ludwig II of Bavaria in the late 19th century, the Neuschwanstein Castle has since become the symbol for iconic "fairy tale" castles commonly found in children's literature and fables. Built into a hillside near the town of Füssen in Germany, Ludwig had intended the castle to be his retreat from public view, as he was known for his reclusive nature. Following his death, the castle became a popular tourist attraction, and eventually served as the inspiration for the famous Sleeping Beauty Castle created by Walt Disney.

-'''Neuschwanstein''' is a very useful wonder, and you should absolutely try to build it in one of your cities if the requirements for it (within 2 tiles of a mountain inside your territory) are met! All players could benefit from it, but especially so a player with a big empire and many [[Castle (Civ5)|Castles]] in it.

-It seems that this Wonder isn't even on the build list of the AI, given that AI players have a tendency to avoid settling a city near a mountain. This gives you a considerable advantage, because at some point loads of City-States will give you a quest for it, and you can build it without competition (if you have a mountain nearby, that is).
