Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the most famous fantasy castles to date. The structure was restored by King Ludwig II—a king known for living in a fantasy world beyond reality. King Ludwig II spent a lot of time in the mountains, traveling at night in elaborate coaches and sleighs and sometimes, in historic costume. Above all, he enjoyed private performances of operas and plays, particularly the operas of Richard Wagner. As a result of his inspiration, the operas of Richard Wagner are displayed in various rooms of the castle. Others are painted with scenes from Sigurd, Gudrun, Tristan and Isolde, Parsifal and Tannhauser.
