Füssen, Germany

This morning, Jen, Jenna, Genevieve, James, Kate and I went out Füssen to see Ludwig II’s castle. Ludwig was always fascinated by medieval castles, and wanted one of his own. Neuschwanstein was built in the late 1800’s, with consultations by Richard Wagner, opera writer. When Ludwig was deemed insane in 1886, the castle construction was stopped. It has been left in the condition it was in when he left and died. The castle outside is absolutely beautiful, but the inside lacks depth (everything is in the faux facade, so it doesn’t have the same depth of tapestries and carvings) His bedroom though, was amazing!
