Ludwig II (1845–1886)

Enlarge picture
The castle of Neuschwanstein, Bavaria. Built in the style of a medieval castle, it was begun by King Ludwig II in 1869 but was left uncompleted at his death in 1886. Situated in the foothills of the Alps near the town of Füssen, the castle was inspired by the king's admiration for the composer Richard Wagner.

King of Bavaria from 1864, when he succeeded his father Maximilian II. He supported Austria during the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, but brought Bavaria into the Franco-Prussian War as Prussia's ally and in 1871 offered the German crown to the king of Prussia. He was the composer Richard Wagner's patron and built the Bayreuth theatre for him. Declared insane in 1886, he drowned himself soon after.
