Scale anchored to a reviewed measurement
Uniform scaling uses one documented measurement; the visual contour is never deformed to fit a second axis.
Neuschwanstein Castle (Current)
Neuschwanstein is shown as the current permanent 1868–1892 castle complex, without the unrealized 90 m chapel-keep from Ludwig II's plans. Its highest existing point rises 65 m above the castle's ground reference; the rocky crag, forest and temporary works are excluded.
