Tag: mad king Ludwig

May 1991

This gorgeous castle is the one that inspired Walt Disney Worlds Cinderella Castle. He was later known as “Mad” King Ludwig but many question whether or not he was mentally ill or not. He plunged his kingdom into massive debt with his megalomaniac construction projects that still dot the Bavarian countryside today. Sadly he was deposed and found dead in a lake, many question whether or not he was killed or suicide. He only lived in his castle for a short period of time and it still is not finished.
