In order to realize his dream world, King Ludwig II of Bavaria built a palace-Neuschwanstein Castle. Overlooking Neuschwanstein Castle, you can see the vast scenery consisting of Faheg Lake, Algard Alps and Fei Sen.
Even when it was first built, the castle was uninhabitable. But because of its spectacular beauty and noble temperament, it is called "the place closest to fairy tales". Ludwig II was also called "the king of fairy tales" by later generations because of his castle. The king is sensitive and fragile, and his heart is full of romantic but unrealistic ideas.
After meeting Ludwig II for the first time, Richard Wagner wrote: "He is so handsome, educated, enthusiastic and sincere, I am really worried that his life will pass away like a sacred dream." 1864 Ludwig II was only 18 years old when he ascended the throne. He likes art, especially music and drama. He is tall, handsome and awesome. When he was a teenager, he looked like a prince in a fairy tale. However, he is full of tragedy. His hatred of reality, disappointment with the people, and constant self-torture because he could not restrain his homosexuality made him indulge in the illusory world of dreams and aesthetics. He successively built Neuschwanstein Castle, Linde Palace and Jinhu Castle, trying to realize his dream by building castles, although these castles were not practical at all. Finally, ministers were reluctant to invest in building castles. They instructed a four-member medical team to declare Ludwig II insane, remove him from his post and exile him to Berg Castle on Lake Steinberg. 1886 On the night of June, Ludwig II and his doctor drowned in Steinberg Lake.
Neuschwanstein Castle has always been the embodiment of the romantic and elegant middle ages in this fairy tale king's heart. The charm of the castle itself and the sad story of the king add a touch of sadness and romance to this exquisite castle.
