Château is the French word for castle.
It’s also not a castle but a château. Château is a new-ish residence for some kind of lord, often secondary (bragging), while castle’s are always medieval and fortified main residences.
In summary, Neuschwanstein is a bonafide château.

Both come from Latin castellum meaning stronghold or fortified village. I would argue that a château is a type of castle and what you are referring to castle should actually be qualified as a medieval castle specifically.
