Neuschwanstein castle from Marienbruecke, Bavaria, Germany

Album Info:

Even for a seasoned traveller, the first sight of Neuschwanstein castle built by Ludwig II (1845-1886), king of Bavaria, evokes awe and a fairytale mood. The castle was born out of Ludwig's dream of creating a structure which will be a stage for Germanic mythology immortalized by Wagner. The construction began in 1869 and was never quite completed. Ludwig spent only 170 days in the castle. The sight from the Marienbruecke (Mary's Bridge) is a sight to cherish. Photography was not allowed inside the castle containing opulent throne room and rare tapesteries of motifs of Wagner's Tannhaeuser, Lohengrin etc.

  • wonderful photos. I have seen all 3 of crazy king Ludwig's castles. They are all fascinating. I guess he wasn't crazy in every way.

  • I rarely check out "Travel", but for some reason, I did today, and there you were. I wasn't surprised, more like confirmed. I just had a feeling that you're on this page a lot. Besides, does it get any better than this? Don't feel you need to comment on my comment. I went through two tortuous days of that and my fingers still haven't recovered. Just drop me a line when you get bored sometime. Whenever, that might be. Congrats.

  • This is a most wonderful sight, a painter's dream and a photographer's delight. This unique castle stands tall as the main subject. The fall season brings the foreground to ones attention and the rolling hills, the village , the green pasture and the river add so much to the background that the whole composition is above and beyond the standard. Thank you Suresh for sharing this delightful scene with us. Regards from Paul in Ontario, Canada.

  • Hi Suresh, Great shot. Brings back some old memories of our visit in October 1976. Back then there were no line ups and we were able to photograph the inside. Ludwig's bedroom with all the wood carvings, especially the bed, was my favorite.

    said photo of louisehuot louisehuot 2007.10.16 at 06:57:37 PDT

  • Absolute spectacular with the fall colors.....the various shades of blue in the sky and the various greens and yellows in the foreground. Can't get any better than that!!! This would be a wonder to see any time of year, but - wow - autumn really makes it glow. You captured it perfectly.

  • Great shot of a Bavarian-German mythology. Ludwig was no doubt insane. ( Imy popint of view, so is the music of Wagner) He waste almost all the Bavarian treasures to build this castel and some say he never live at. He past away to a beter world after drowing in a nearby lake. Some say he was murdered by his people...He was crazy on swans, and you can find them at the castel and around where ever you walk. The castel is almost empty, and you need your imaginations understand Ludwig logic when you walk there. But from out - The castel is great.

  • Oh, what a dream shot this is. Wonderfully photographed. We've been there twice, trying to get in to the castle for a visit, but gave up both times, as the line of tourist buses was so long and we would have had a wait for hours just to get close enough. Thanks for this memory...
