Listing an outstanding collectible item - some sort of resin(?) material that shows very intricate details of the Schloss Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria, Germany. There is no label to give me a clue as to maker, place or date. My brother visited and toured the castle in 2006 and brought this back. Our family lived in Germany in the mid 1960's and we visited the castle then as well. There is a small (1-1/2" diameter) clock fitted into the face of the piece - the clock has "Romantic Collections" printed on the face. The item measures 7" in length, 5-1/4" in width, and is 6-1/4" in height.

Colors are very vibrate, and the detail has to be seen in person to truly appreciate!! I have no original packaging, but it will be carefully packed and shipped.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"Neuschwanstein Castle (German: Schloss Neuschwanstein, pronounced [nɔʏˈʃvaːnʃtaɪn], English: "New Swanstone Castle" is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds.

The palace was intended as a personal refuge for the reclusive king, but it was opened to the paying public immediately after his death in 1886. Since then more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer. The palace has appeared prominently in several movies and was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and later, similar structures."
