Neuschwanstein Castle stands above Hohenschwangau near Füssen in the south-eastern Bavarian Allgäu. The building was erected from 1869 for the Bavarian King Ludwig II as an idealized idea of a knight's castle from the Middle Ages. Christian Jank designed the design, and Eduard Riedel and Georg von Dollmann were responsible for the execution. The king only lived in the castle for a few months. He died before the plant was completed. Neuschwanstein was originally called the New Hohenschwangau Castle, and it has had its current name since 1886.[1] The owner of the castle is the Free State of Bavaria;[2] it is looked after and managed by the Bavarian Administration of State Castles, Gardens and Lakes.
