MAD KING LUDWIG lived here. Monument to one man's
whimsy, the story book castle of Neuschwanstein rises in the
foothills of the Alps above a forest near Fussen, Bavaria.
kiiiK l.udwig II's extravagance in building the castle earned
him the epithet "Mad Ludwig," but today Neuschwanstein's
value as a tourist magnet far surpasses its original cost.

Mad Ludwig's
Bizarre Castle
Riling Coffers
Combine • dash of Richarc
Wagner with a slice ot
Disneyland and the result is an
improbable concoction called
Neuschwanstein castle in Germany.
Perched high in the Bavarian
Alps like a set for a children's
fairy tale, the castle displays a
profusion of turrets, casements,
and palisades that would bring
tears of joy to the eyes of a
pastry chef.
It also brought tears to the
eyes of King Ludwig II's
financial advisers. The beloved
but eccentric Bavarian monarch
paid 6,180,047 gold marks for
the castle alone, to say nothing
of the furnishings.
Pays Modern Dividends
Located near the town of
Fussen, the castle has more
than repaid the investment,
earning millions of dollars as a
museum and tourist attraction.
The Bavarian government
recently spent about $420,000
on a retaining wall to keep
parts of the famous landmark
from slipping into a nearby
ravine, the National Geographic
Society says.
Ludwig reigned from 1864
until his death in 1886. An
eccentric bachelor, he received
few guests in his extravagant
hideaway. He preferred to
sleep away the day, rising for
breakfast in the evening. He
would later dine on delicacies
like truffle-stuffed peacock
about 2 a. m„ then have a light
supper at daw n before retiring
Infatuated with the wild,
romantic operas of Richard
Wagner, Ludwig built a lake
complete with swans into one of
the upper rooms of the castle as
a homage to "Lohengrin."
On another floor he constructed
a rocky cave like the
one in Wagner's opera
"Tannhauser."
On moonlit nights the king
often paced the castle's
ramparts or galloped through
the courtyard, pretending to be
Siegfried or Parsifal, heroes of
Germanic legend and characters
in his favorite composer's
works.
Wanted More Castles
A building mania took
possession of Ludwig even
before Neuschwanstein was
finished. He started work on
Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee
castles, two more extravaganzas.
"Building is my only
hobby and my life's happiness
depends on it," the king told a
horrified court treasurer.
The lavishness of Herrenchiemsee,
45 miles from
Munich, staggers the visitor
today just as it did the taxpayer
of Ludwig's time. It has been
described as a "hyperthroid
version of Versailles with more
gilt, glitter, and chandeliers
than the original." A hall of
mirrors in the castle measures
246 feet long and was once
lighted by 2,188 candles.
A desperate attempt by
Ludwig to raise more money
for the two projects was
blocked.
Ludwig's eccentricities and
growing indebtedness proved
his undoing. A panel of
psychiatrists declared him
officially insane, and on June
12, 1886 he received word in
Neuschwanstein that his uncle
had taken over as regent.
Ludwig was exiled to another
castle, but lived there only a
day. His body was found the
following morning in a nearby
lake. The mystery of his death
was never solved, but Neuschwanstein
still stands as a
monument to a man who tried
to turn his dream world into
reality.
