In association with:
Ludwig II spent his childhood at the sun-yellow Schloss Hohenschwangau. It's much less ostentatious than the fairy-tale Neuschwanstein and has a distinct lived-in feeling. After his father died, Ludwig's main alteration was having stars, illuminated with hidden oil-lamps, painted on the ceiling of his bedroom.
Originally built by Schwangau knights during the 12th century, the palace's current visage stems from the 1830s after Ludwig's father, Maximilian II, had the ruin reconstructed in neo-Gothic fashion.
