Murals in King Maximilians bedroom depict Torquato Tasso's "The History of Rinaldo and Armida". You can't see that inthis picture, because they are on the other wall, there are two little doors which are exactly easy to be seen for they are covered with murals. One of the doors lead to the toilette and the others directly to Queen Maries bedroom.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you see this picture? Fairy tale? Disney? You are correct! Disney did base his famous castle on this one. And fairy tales were the main inspiration for King Ludwig II to build this still stunning peace.
Unlike his other buildings, this one was built as his retreat place. He was so in love with the idea of this castle, that he even had a telescope in one of the rooms in Hohenschwangau to supervise the construction.
King Ludwig was in a way opsessed with Medieval, but in his castle he had every possible luxury of the time: running water, electricity...

Things To Do: Neuschwanstein Castle

The castle got it's name after the Swan Stone on which it was built (neu = new, der Schwan = swan, der Stein = stone ) above the beautiful Alpsee. Eventhough it was Ludwigs idea, three people worked on it's design: Eduard Riedel, Christian Jank (stage-painter) and the archtitect Georg Dollman. Neuschwanstein was built between 1869 and 1886, the year of King Ludwigs death. It's enterior is far from finished. In fact, only a few rooms were completed and those are opened for the public.

My husband and I were simply stunnded with the beauty of the castles exterior guessing that it can only be as pretty in side as it is outside. I must say that it is mesmerizing! Eventhough it is not easy to catch it's beauty with an ordinary camera, we couldn't resist snaping.
Please see the other pictures I have posted.
