(A) Neuschwanstein Castle was the idea of Ludwig II of Bavaria, also known as “Mad KingLudwig.” Whether or not he was actually insane is still open to debate, but he was definitely astrange ruler. Instead of hosting grand royal banquets and holding court with the nobility, Ludwigpreferred to spend his time alone working on creative projects.      The greatest of these was the series of castles he had built in the hopes of bringing Bavaria’scultural influence on par with that of France. However, the castles were not actually for thepublic, and Ludwig wanted people to appreciate his contributions to Bavaria from afar.Neuschwanstein Castle was meant to be his private refuge, where he could enjoy solitude faraway from prying eyes.       Guest rooms were to be turned into a hall that was never completed, and the audience roombecame a huge throne room. It was decorated with paintings showing kingship as a right given byGod.       Ludwig’s fascination with the poetry of the Middle Ages and the music of Richard Wagnerinspired much of the castle’s interior decoration. The paintings on the walls were taken from thesame medieval legends that inspired Wagner’s works.       During Ludwig II’s lifetime, the only thing citizens could see of the castle was the outside ofit. It has a red-brick gatehouse and many strikingly beautiful towers, turrets, and sculptures.However, the castle’s real story still lies in its interior, which opened to the public only afterLudwig’s mysterious death in 1886. Ultimately, Neuschwanstein Castle served as a manifestationof the sovereign rulership Ludwig II wanted but was never able to realize. The castle remains as atestament to his vision and love of romanticism.
