Castle Forecourt

Cinderella Castle is the fairytale castle at the castle forecourt of Tokyo Disneyland. It serves as worldwide recognized icons for their respective theme parks.

Cinderella Castle was inspired by several French castles, most notably Château de Pierrefonds, Château d'Ussé in France, Fontainebleau, Versailles, and the chateaux of Chenonceau, Château de Chambord, Chaumont, and the Alcázar in Segovia, Spain. Neuschwanstein Castle was the original inspiration for Walt Disney in his concept for the castle in the classic animated feature Cinderella and thus Cinderella Castle is based on the movie's portrayal.
