Munich. Castles of Ludwig II

Germany is rich not only in entertainment, but also in historical architectural monuments, among which castles occupy the main place in importance. The medieval and modern castles of Bavaria have been attracting crowds of tourists for many years. The most beautiful castles in Bavaria owe their appearance to King Ludwig II.
• Neuschwanstein
• Hohenschwangau
• Linderhof
• Herrenkimsee
The most beautiful and famous castle in Europe, according to many Europeans, is located in the southwest of Bavaria - this is the Neuschwanstein Castle of the late 19th century. The interiors of the castle are created in different styles, but this only emphasizes their richness and sophistication. According to legend, during the Second World War, paintings and valuables for Adolf Hitler's personal collection were kept in Neuschwanstein. Neuschwanstein's appearance was used by Walt Disney to create the image of the fairy-tale castle of Sleeping Beauty, and composer P.I. Tchaikovsky was inspired to write music for the ballet Swan Lake.
Next to Neuschwanstein, there is another castle nearby – Hohenschwangau. It was here that Ludwig II lived while Neuschwanstein was being built. Hohenschwangau is built in the Neo-Gothic style, decorated with numerous turrets and looks somewhat like a chess piece. Both of these castles stand opposite each other and are combined into one museum complex.
Ludwig II came up with the idea of building Linderhof Castle after his visit to Versailles. After returning from a trip to the south of Munich, the king began construction of a castle and a park with fountains, grottoes and gardens. To make the castle's architecture resemble a French palace, Ludwig II sent architects to France several times. Now the castle (rather a palace) is open to the public and is undoubtedly the jewel of the Bavarian castle collection.
However, before Linderhof was completed, Ludwig II ordered the construction of another French–style palace, which is how the Herrenkimsee Castle, also called the "New Versailles", appeared on the Herrenwerth island of Lake Himsee southwest of Munich. According to the king's idea, Neuschwanstein was supposed to look like a knight's castle, Linderhof was supposed to look like the king's country house, and Herrinkemsee was supposed to be an exact replica of a French palace. Ludwig did not live to see the complete completion of the castle. The simultaneous construction of several grandiose structures caused discontent among the subjects, the king was considered crazy, and his sudden death leaves a lot of questions. Nevertheless, Ludwig II left behind grandiose castles that immortalized his name. Are you looking for an exciting and reliable online casino experience?
