What if a billionaire wanted to build this exact castle, let’s say over in Switzerland or Sweden.
How much do you think it would cost to have the thing completed?
How long would it take?
Would it even be possible? Or legal?

Disney first built it in California

Build it like Disney: Under ten million. Build it like a crazy Bavarian prince? A cool billion.

Ok guys, i think OP is aware that this castle is based on Neuschwanstein in Germany, OP wants to know if its physically possible to build this castle. Unfortunately i’m not an engineer so i can’t answer that but what i can tell you is that even though this castle “exists” at Disney world the castle is not built to scale. The castle in Disney World is actually built to look like its actual size but its not. the higher up you look the dimensions get smaller, it’s designed to look like its full size but its not. So The height of the castle that you are finding online is the actual height but if it was built as an exact replica of this picture it would probably be at least twice as tall. I would assume with current building materials it would be possible to build an exact replica, however, it would probably cost a fortune, probably far more than it cost to build Neuschwanstein in Germany.

This is already a replica of Mont Saint Michel in France… build a replica of a replica ? Really ?

I’ve read that cost of building Neuschwanstein castle, the castle on which Disney castle is based, would be anywhere from $250M-$800M in today’s dollars. Think there are really a lot of factors to consider which leads to large spread in potential cost. Personally, if I was going to spend this kind of money, I’d buy and island and make it self sustainable and install adequate defense system to keep unwanteds away.
