Hohenschwangau Castle Description

South of Füssen is Schloss Hohenschwangau, a neo-Gothic castle built for King Maximilian II in 1832-36 to the design of the stage painter D. Quaglio (frescoes by Moritz von Schwindt).

The large hall also called the Hall of Heroes and Knights, takes up the whole width of the Castle. The ceiling of the hall features a pink background with silver stars. There are numerous royal bedrooms in Hohenschwangau Castle with painted walls and images from poems or myths.
