General Tips: Swan knight Lohengrin
  • Tip Rating:
  • Schloß Hohenschwangau - Hohenschwangau - the Alpsee - Schwan

  • Schwan

  • Favorite Thing: A leitmotif of the castle’s interiors is the swan. The swan was the heraldic animal of the Counts of Schwangau, whose successor the king considered himself to be. It is also the Christian symbol of the "purity" for which Ludwig strived.

    Hohenschwangau was decorated with scenes from medieval legends and poetry, including the legend of the swan knight Lohengrin. Ludwig identified himself when still a boy with Lohengrin, to whom Richard Wagner dedicated a romantic opera in 1850.

     Thanks for the virtual tour--too bad they did not allow photos in the castle even if you paid. Hope to visit one day.

     Lovely page on the charming Hohenschwangau and its romantic castle. Great info on tickets and tours.

     Hohenschwangau is less famous that Neuschwanstein, but in many ways it is more interesting in my opinion.
