Exploring the Bavarian castles
A loner and a dreamer, Ludwig II of Bavaria was barely interested in the affairs of his kingdom. Instead, he devoted his short life to an endless dream: to build ever larger, ever more lavish castles. Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee, the three palaces he had built during his lifetime, testify to this day to the extravagant grandeur which had taken hold of the "fairytale king".
