The palace was commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and in honour of Richard Wagner. Ludwig chose to pay for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds. Construction began in 1869, but was never fully completed.The castle was intended as a private residence for the King, until he died in 1886. It was open to the public shortly after his death.]]> 2022-01-04 10:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiatanase1/iosluewv22fai0en/wish/1973912613 alexiatanase1 https://padlet.com/alexiatanase1/iosluewv22fai0en/wish/1973920306      -The inspiration for the construction of Neuschwanstein came from two journeys that Ludwig took in 1867 — one in May to the reconstructed Wartburg near Eisenach,another in July to the Château de Pierrefonds, which Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.
    -At the time of King Ludwig's death the palace was far from complete. The external structures of the Gatehouse and the Palas were mostly finished  Work on the Bower had not started, but was completed in  1892 without the planned figures of the female saints.  Only the foundations existed for the core piece of the palace complex: that was not realised, and a connection wing between the Gatehouse and the Bower saw the same fate. Plans for a castle garden with terraces and a fountain west of the Palas were  abandoned after the King's death.

The courtyard has two levels.
 Today, the foundation plan of the chapel-keep is marked out in the upper-courtyard pavement. The most striking structure is the Rectangular Tower.The western end of the courtyard is delimited by the Palas (hall). It's the real main building of the castle and contains the King's stateroom and the servants' rooms.

Ultimately, no more than about 15 rooms and halls were finished. In its lower stories the Palas accommodates administrative and servants' rooms and the rooms of today's palace administration. The King's staterooms are situated in the upper stories: . The upper floors of the west-facing posterior structure are filled almost completely by the Throne Hall. ]]> 2022-01-09 15:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/alexiatanase1/iosluewv22fai0en/wish/1982417387 alexiatanase1 https://padlet.com/alexiatanase1/iosluewv22fai0en/wish/1982421762 The Neuschwanschtein castle is one of the most beautiful castles in the world.
