- This article is about the planned castle. For the game named after the castle see: Castle Falkenstein (role-playing game).
Castle Falkenstein (de. Schloss Falkenstein) was supposed to be located in Bavaria, Germany, not far from Neuschwanstein.
King Ludwig II of Bavaria planned this as his fourth castle. The castle was designed originally by Christian Jank in 1883 and a road built to its proposed site, but shortage of money was the main cause for it never getting further than that. After Ludwig's mysterious death, all of his further plans for more grandiose castles were permanently abandoned.
