With our upcoming trip to Bavaria, one can not get too far from Ludwig II. A king that was more interested in the arts than in ruling, Ludwig II left his unique stamp on Bavaria, leaving behind some beautiful monuments in the form of his various palaces and castles such as Neuschwanstein Castle. Ludwig II was also instrumental in providing patronage to composer Richard Wagner. In future posts, we’ll have more about the good king. 🙂
