History
Texas developer Terry Young and his wife, Kim Young, brought this castle into being.
The couple dreamed up building the Falkenstein Castle after they visited Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. The architecture was developed by the king of Bavaria (Bavarian castle), King Ludwig II. The design for Neuschwanstein Castle was completed in 1868, and construction began in 1869. The castle was constructed 45 minutes northwest of Austin, close to a number of several Highland Lakes.
The couple got inspired by another piece of information they heard during their visit. It was about the king’s uncompleted project of a castle.
It is said that the Youngs were great fans of the king of Bavaria’s work. During their travel in Germany, they explored the lovely Neuschwanstein Castle and were lucky enough to be graced with the king’s drawings, who prepared these drawings to be built someday.
There were two or three drawings for future castles, and one of those castles gave this couple the idea to build a piece of architecture that would be compared with every other in the world.
The name of the Falkenstein Castle was inspired by an idea that the king of Bavaria conjured up to build another castle with the name “Falkenstein Castle” to it. The Youngs heard this tidbit and immediately thought of building a great piece of architecture.
Their tour to the Neuschwanstein Castle brought about the construction of Falkenstein Castle in 1996, which ultimately became the couple’s romantic castle, and the grounds have ever since been private.
