Schloss Hohenschwangau
Schloss Hohenschwangau, the other royal castle in Schwangau, was also built in a Historicist style but by Maximilian II in 1832-36. It is a Neo-Gothic building with wall paintings of German sagas. Ludwig spent happy childhood years here and was almost certainly influenced by what he saw on these walls. He also first met Richard Wagner here. The interior can only be seen on a guided tour, which generally is less fully booked than those for Neuschwanstein.
