The design of the opera hall and the knights' baths in Schwanstein Castle was based on the blueprints of Waltburg, and Ludwig was also influenced by the Moorish architectural style of Spain, and he wanted to make Schwanstein Castle a fantasy Germanic world of composer Wagner's work.

The design of the castle was mainly entrusted to the theatrical set designer Christian Yank, and the typical Gothic architectural details can be found throughout the castle, while all the doors, windows, columns and cloisters are baroque.

The more Qu Lihua followed Robin inside, the more she could feel the king's creativity, and she had respect for the art objects preserved in Swan Castle.

"This king is really not easy, it took a lot of effort to make it like this!"

"Yes!" Robin nodded, "I also sympathize with him after seeing the experience of this king, we thought that as kings there was nothing lacking, but in their time, the reality was very cruel, there were still many difficult things, the struggle was fierce, and there were people who opposed him. ”

Meng Wenjie also sighed, "Swan Castle, what a beautiful name, but behind this beauty and romance hides the tragedy of a young king. ”

"Yes, his master is King Ludwig II of the Kingdom of Bavaria, I have already introduced his personal emotional experience, he can't be with the woman he likes, now I will introduce him, he has gained friendship, I think in addition to love, to get friendship, is also a very happy thing for a person. ”

Everyone nodded as Robin continued to introduce the legendary life of the king.

He was fond of opera and stage plays since he was a child, wrote many plays that celebrated the triumph of good over evil, and was also an admirer of the famous German stage playwright Wagner, a young king who was a friend of Prussia's iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck. ”

"One is young and romantic, the other is old-willed as iron, and their friendship is surprising to future generations. ”

Qu Lihua nodded, "People definitely need friends, life hopes to get a soulmate, if there are no friends who are depressed in their hearts, they have nowhere to tell, hold it in their hearts, this feeling is too uncomfortable, or need to communicate, need to be affirmed and recognized by others." ”

"Yes, it's not easy to expand, let's go to the front and have a look!"

"Okay!" everyone followed Captain Xia Yuxiang and walked forward.

The style here is unified, the layout and the name are related, Swan Castle, of course, the layout everywhere also reflects the swan element, all the faucets and furniture and room accessories in the whole castle are different shapes, lifelike swan shapes, the castle interior decoration is extremely luxurious, from the ceiling, lighting, walls to daily utensils, all are craftsmen meticulously carved.

Qu Lihua stood in front of these decorations and exclaimed: "I really can't see it, if Robin didn't introduce it, I thought it was designed and arranged by a lady, it looks very delicate and has the nobility of a swan, but I didn't expect it to be a king, it can be seen that his mind is still very delicate." ”

Meng Wenjie nodded, "It can be seen that he still pursues purity in his heart, and he has beautiful dreams in his heart, just like a swan swimming on the surface of the lake, proudly and freely, what a beautiful and pure picture, that kind of realm is too desirable." ”

"Yes!" Captain Xia Yuxiang nodded, "It can be seen that this pot king had a very bad time in that era, although he had rich material conditions, he had a lot of mental pressure and was not happy. ”

Robin said: "This king still contributed a lot, although his life was full of twists and turns, when he was alive, he did not get the understanding and support of the world, when he built Neuschwanstein Castle, he also encountered various obstacles, when he died, the castle was not finished, and later generations rebuilt it, so that this castle became famous all over the world." ”

"Neuschwanstein Castle has a unique look that has inspired many modern fairytale castles, including Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland and Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida, USA, inspired by a number of castles from Germany. ”

Qu Lihua said: "I think this castle is quite distinctive, it is very well built, let's go inside and have a look." ”

Further inside is the King's living room, which is located on the fourth floor, and many tourists may wonder why the King's living room is on the fourth floor.

Robin explained that the scenery on the fourth floor is better, and you can climb up and look far away, and see the more beautiful scenery from the window.

There is an even more important reason, in the medieval era, every monarch would set their life and living quarters out of the range of weapons, because at that time weapon sieges and attacks would destroy the lower floors first, Ludwig II wanted to build a castle like the medieval era, so he chose this design.

This is also to protect his safety, the king likes the style of the Middle Ages, but the castle is done with modern technology, it is built by later generations, and the original character is retained, and if the things that are too old are broken, they will be repaired again.

In order to present the characteristics of this Neuschwanstein Castle, it still took a lot of effort and effort.

Listening to Robin's introduction, Qu Lihua nodded, and was also very emotional about these monuments, after so many years of changes, it is not easy to keep them so intact.

The bed cover of the Chinese king in the king's living room is wooden with intricate Gothic carvings, including the ceiling, and took fourteen sculptors four years to complete.

The windows, bedspreads, and backrests are made of dark blue cloth and gold embroidery, all of which were the favourite colours of Ludwig II and the representative colours of the Bavarian royal family.

Qu Lihua said: "This king must not have thought that what he liked could be kept until now, right?"

Meng Wenjie said: "Yes, after such a long time, some things are a little old, and they have faded, but they are still retained, and it is not easy to have the original taste of the Middle Ages, if I were him, I would definitely be gratified." ”

Robin said: "These things have been specially repaired, and the most valuable ones are the medieval legends of Wagner's works, Tristan and Issold, you see, this one." ”

Robin pointed to the painting on the wall, there was a burly man on it, Qu Lihua was very curious, and asked Robin, "Who is he?"

Robin replied: "Tristan is one of King Arthur's knights of the Round Table, Paladin Luan Green, a medieval figure, you can see by looking at his clothes, the warriors at that time wore different clothes from ordinary people, they all represented his identity, and there are still many such murals as room decorations." ”
