Not far from Neuschwanstein is Hohenschwangau, which was built between 1537 and 1547 into the outer walls of the 14th century Schwanstein castle.
In 1832, King Max II, son of King Ludwig I bought the castle and changed the name to Hohenschwangau Castle. In 1832, Hohenschwangau was commissioned by Max I and rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style by architecture and theater painter Domenico Quaglio.
Unfortunately, Quaglio, who was inexperienced in the building trade, was unable to complete the construction, as he died shortly before completion. The construction work was finally continued by Joseph Daniel Ohlmüller.
