Neuschwanstein in Bavaria is a castle in the village of Hohenschwangau in the Schwangau district near Füssen in the Allgäu, built in the second half of the 19th century at the behest of (the later declared insane) King Ludwig or Louis II of Bavaria. It is Louis II's most famous edifice and, with some 1.3 million visitors each year, one of Germany's most popular tourist attractions. Construction was started by Ludwig in 1869 and his intention was to erect a medieval knights castle. The design of the castle was made by the theatre architect and set designer Christian Jank, and Eduard Riedel and Georg von Dollmann were responsible for its execution. Work on the castle was immediately halted when Louis died in 1886.
