Description
World famous palace of Bavarian King Ludwig II. Neuschwanstein Castle, which King Ludwig II built on a rugged hill against a backdrop of picturesque mountain scenery, was prompted by the idea of rebuilding an existing ruin "in the authentic style of the old German knights' castles", as he wrote in a letter to Richard Wagner.
The castle was built by Eduard Riedel and Georg Dollmann from idealized sketches by the scene painter Christian Jank. While the building itself imitates the 13th-century Romanesque style, the paintings inside predominantly depict scenes from Wagner's operas such as "Tannhäuser" and "Lohengrin".
The Singers' Hall is modelled on the banqueting hall of the Wartburg near Eisenach; the decoration includes wall paintings illustrating the Parzival saga.
The church-like Throne Hall was modelled on Byzantine domed architecture and the Allerheiligenhofkirche (Court Church of All-Saints) in the Munich Residenz and symbolizes Ludwig II's idea of a monarchy by God's grace. Neuschwanstein is not a copy of a medieval castle but a typical Historicist creation.

Winter is a great time to visit Neuschwanstein Castle, a must-do day trip from Munich. Stay the night in Füssen to maximize your hiking options if you can! #travel #travelography #wunderscapes #neuschwanstein #germany #munich

The most photographed castle in Germany called Neuschwanstein Castle which was built during the era of Kingdom of Bavaria. And this is main reason why I visit Germany which I feel that my trip to Germany is incomplete without visiting this magnificent castle . Alhamdulillah for this golden opportunity. #neuschwanstein #castle #germany
