Neuschwanstein Castle Bankrupted the King Who Built it

[@paraboo8994]

Neuschwanstein started construction in 1869, so hardly the work of a "medieval king" as the description states.

[@josiahprofenno4136]

@paraboo Ludwig II was extremely enamored by medieval culture. I’m sure he would have liked nothing more than to be called one. So I shall refer to him as so.

[@RebeckaSarkozy]

This is only one of many castles he had built.

[@Yaotl-1]

"Preferred the company of wildlife, to that of his subjects" I can relate

[@AMagicProduction]

Fun Fact: Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty’s Castle is based off of this castle

[@zacharymccoy2418]

Im waiting for them to go into detail and its over lol

[@infinidominion]

Making this much video bankrupted them

[@ProfX501]

This is a snippet from a longer episode

[@SkragorSkumdreg]

My Grandfather and his unit went here for some R&R at the end of WW2

[@blahbleh5671]

your grandfather woud be proud of your youtube name 'ultimate warrior' I think

[@blahbleh5671]

not

[@louchat333]

It is a beautiful castle. Very gothic inside.

[@kathleenbemis9676]

It's a beautiful Castle.

[@quorumlab]

And after all that left behind centuries of speculation and wonder . His legacy was his passion

[@BatMajor]

Ive been to this castle and the sorrounding country side and the views are spectacular...the Castle is nice but little tip if you are expecting to see fairy creatures princes and princesses..you are in for a disappointing surprise. Also the hike up to the castle is quite beautiful but also quite the work out. I recomend going in Fall cuz if you go in spring or summer you are gonna be waiting around A LOT.

[@Jicko1560]

I went in winter. Was a bit cold to climb but it was worth the sight

[@ice-tsbodycount4054]

Still nobody knows till this day how a head of state, a KING was found dead in the lake below. The tour of this castle was amazing and it was really cold inside

[@laurelbozman6997]

Absolutely beautiful castle.

[@b_uppy]

Part of it was the transportation of materials costs that sunk him, that, and permitting...

[@ss-mp8zu]

Where can I watch the full episode?

[@lemono1664]

On CNN

[@snoogiebug]

I blinked and missed this.

[@ahmadnawaz9448]

Nice...wonderfully built

[@ludwigludwig3515]

And for the money the king was traditionally killed by the doctor.

[@therealbabyfacenelson3345]

Didnt the doctor die trying to help the drowning king?

[@tbirum]

WOW can only be viewed in either 1440p or 2160p , uh, what about 720p or 1080p?

[@brunobrauer6301]

Wir wollen unseren König Ludwig wiederhaben.

[@newworldgrover8588]

It is quite beautiful until you think that poor subjects who lived in modesty gave their sons and daughter's, as conscripts to build this king's castle.

[@BADD1ONE]

I bet that king micromanaged every aspect of construction. Those guys make everything harder. And they know it. But they cant stop.

[@certifiedyaminspector-dadd6224]

Seems like an odd place to build a castle.

[@sarahsaurus9317]

He was, for the time, an odd man

[@Jicko1560]

I went to visit 2 years ago. It may have been odd for the time but it's a truly an amazing looking place, especially in winter

[@rzvrzv9894]

Check your sounds... it's too low.

[@jangamaster8677]

The castle of the Mad King!!

[@Ronenlahat]

I got no more information from the video than from its title.

[@ascetic3312]

I always felt bad for Ludwig II.

[@thomasciarlariello3228]

Victorian was "Steam Punk" not medieval.

[@thomasciarlariello3228]

Dangers of taking Wagnerian opera fantasies seriously echoed by Tolkien, J. K. Rowling's "Harry Potter", and TSR hobbies "D&D" roleplaying board games since at least Mad King Ludwig contributed to hydroelectric and electrochemical industry infrastructure.

[@MrRisingSun]

What a beautiful bankruptcy!

[@SlowToe]

Neusch 😊

[@Fatpepperbear]

That's it?

[@keripalajanata]

In German we have a saying "mein Schieße ist heiße".
