Sleeping Beauty Castle History
The Sleeping Beauty Castle or Dornröschenschloss as it’s known in German has a long history by itself. However, one cannot talk about Sleeping Beauty Castle without talking about the Brothers Grimm.
The two famous German fairy tales writers Wilhelm and Jakob Grimm are the ones who created the classical stories about Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, and many more. They also wrote the story about Sleeping Beauty.
An Inspiring Site
Since many of the Grimm brothers’ fairy tales were inspired by their own lives and their surroundings, people started to wonder where the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty came from. Already in the 19th century after the publication of the Brothers Grimm’s Fairy Tales, people imagined this very castle to be the place where the Sleeping Beauty tale must have come from, partly because the Grimm Brothers spent time in the surrounding areas and also due to the ivy-covered castle’s sweeping look with its magnificent past and its hedges of thorns.
The castle was said to be sleeping as it was partly a ruin at the time the Grimm brothers lived. In the early 19th century, the castle was abandoned as a residence and it rapidly fell into disrepair, converting the castle to a wild romantic old ruin.
The castle once again has been restored as a tourist destination and today it even has a hotel, theater, and restaurant!
