The Bavarian Palace Administration however sees the operation of drones as a serious potential risk for Neuschwanstein Castle and its visitors. We are thus exercising our householder’s right in accordance with the German constitution (§ 903 BGB) to forbid the launching or landing of drones on our property as well as the flying of drones over it, based on the interests involved and the crowds of people at Neuschwanstein Castle. Aerial photography and filming is also prohibited out of respect for the personal rights of our visitors.
