The St. Ludwig Memorial Church, built in honor of Ludwig II, is located in the forest above the place where the king's body was found in the lake on Whitsunday, June 13, 1886. In 1887, his mother, Queen Marie, donated a funeral lamp, which was later integrated into the staircase. The Prince Regent Luitpold laid the foundation stone for the construction of the so-called votive chapel on the 10th anniversary of the king's death in June 1896.

Very interesting history and also very mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Ludwig II. Being here on site is once again a very special experience. Impressive, the detour is definitely worth it. Recommended.
