Neuschwanstein in Bavaria is a castle in the village of Hohenschwangau in the municipality of Schwangau near Füssen in the Allgäu region, built in the second half of the 19th century at the behest of (the later declared insane) King Ludwig II of Bavaria (also called Lodewijk in Dutch). It is his most famous structure and, with some 1.3 million visitors a year, a popular attraction (some 10,000 people a day in the holiday months of July and August). Construction was started in 1869 and Ludwig's intention was to erect a medieval knight's castle. The castle was designed by 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 on Ludwig's death in 1886.
