The FAIRY TALE Castle Built For ONE Man

The Neuschwanstein Castle sits on a scenic hill in Germany and was designed and once home to one man known as the Fairy Tale King - King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Known to many as an artistic but extravagant, and sometimes mad King, what's most interesting about Ludwig II is his mysterious death that remains unsolved to this day! What really happened to the strange man who lived in the fairy tale castle?

I had the pleasure to visit while I was stationed in Germany...One of the many beautiful castles there.

[@Drachenklaue90]

As a bavarian citizen i'm very proud that you chose Neuschwanstein as a topic for your channel ^^ keep up your good work :) greetings from Munich

[@sarahsmileseriously]

See you on your food channel, but love your stories from Beyond Science. Keep up the great work!!

[@jessicamurray9592]

I'm glad your feeling better🌻

[@mahimarao694]

I missed your videos glad to see this❤️

[@Seek369]

Hi, I live in germany. Neu-Schwanstein is really nice and there are so many interesting places around. And not just in Bavaria, that has a lot of tourists und only displays one cultural side of germany. I live close to the UNESCO woldy heritage Mittelrheintal that has a lot of medivial castles, the Loreley and the Niederwald Monument. It was a great inspiration during romanicism, which means it's likely to have also inspired the artists you came up with the plans for Neu-Schwanstein. Also nobody should ever die without having tried a great variety of german baked goods. :D You have no idea what bread IS until you have eaten bread in a german-speaking country. Feel invited everybody. :)

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

I have been there in 2000 when i graduated High school, because my Mom and Dad were station in Germany when they were in the Army. That is were they met and feel in love with each other. So when they saved up their money they took me with them. I got to go inside the castle and vist all the places were my Mom and Dad have been to. Munich was the best and the castle was romantic and beautiful at the same time. I say to everybody that i meet" You have to go to Germany and see the Neuschwanstein castle".

[@direbearcoat7551]

I think the idea behind having so many rooms is to keep assassins guessing as to which room the king or queen was sleeping in.

[@sophialuna0615]

This is so great! Keep up the good work, bro!

[@JennyBrett]

Mikey's back! I see you on your other channels but nice to see you here also!

[@optimoprimus4608]

Good to see you again man.

[@Vurti0]

exactly what i wanted to write! 2nd.

[@sarenap1409]

How beautiful! I've never heard that story before, I would love to visit that castle one day. Thanks for the interesting story!

[@tanglingheadphones]

The Gabriel Knight 2 game had an inspiring look into Ludwig II and this castle, gave me my first look into the life of the Fairytale King when I was really young. Wasn't expecting to wake up to a vid on this today, thanks for the great start to my day.

[@Cheonging101]

A king who lives in a fairy tale castle is gay? Huh... who'd have thought...

[@maryledbetter5140]

Nice video, I've always been drawn to castles, like I lived in one in my past life.

[@dianezatanna9676]

Good to have you back!!

[@xlanexboyx]

I'm still here Mike. So happy you're back to share your knowledge

[@brandonmohammed9092]

great to see you back :) . to answer your question i would but i would most likely ask close family members and friends to come live with me.

[@ZombieBitesAgain]

Nice video budd keep up the good work 😊

[@LudoHT]

There’s much more to the stories and that castle! You’ll love it and have to go. Germany is beautiful and so is all the castles and cities. I love you video keep it up.

[@KarolyVamos]

I really enjoy your videos !! You speak clean clear ...right to the point ..

[@user-kt8yp5ho2y]

It’s been a while Mickey! 🤗🤗🤗

[@weareearthguardians1417]

Interesting!!! Thanks for the upload😁👍..

[@noopyscroopsmcdoops6574]

Yay I was hoping for a new video

[@user-kt8yp5ho2y]

That’s the most beautiful castle I ever seen.

[@Lorten369]

Much love good to have you back. Loved your food videos. ;)

[@savannahdavisson3494]

i love this channel so much ! i need to show it to my little brothers because i know they will love it too ♥️

[@erikc4740]

Nice vid dude😀

[@KatarinaDelarose]

Castles are so cool! I’d love to visit one! This castle looks so beautiful 💖 I would totally build myself a castle if I could!

[@kamillaadam4840]

i went there last year and i have to say, its so worth the visit and MAGICAL FEELING !

[@mwindanji6714]

Time to do a food tour of Germany ;). Good content as always - thanks for the upload!

[@KiddKoalaz]

I actually forgot you had this channel.. and I originally found you on here lol

[@jennystubert2230]

Hey next time don't stay away so long we missed you ;) nice video , thx

[@steveadams5190]

Great video Mike! Thanks! Great to see you back Too! I've always wanted to visit some castles in Europe. Always fascinated by them. Be AWESOME to live in one but sure would hate to pay the heat bill! LOL

[@maggiebuchanan9369]

You are gonna love this castle Mike ! I was there in the early 80's and it's so cool for so many reasons. We took the horse drawn Carriage to the top and walk through the woodland pathway back down to the town. You will have to look for the awesome wood carved bed, the water fall and so much more while you are in there. Good luck and let us know what you think when you finally make it there.

[@maryisle8471]

I've visited Neuschwanstein twice and Linderhof Palace - both beautiful, amazing places to visit 😀

[@AJazzz]

Hey mike, been a fan for years, just wondering, could you use for a vid that old orangey backdrop you used for your old vids, would be cool for nostalgia

[@gardensofthegods]

Wow, nice , a perfect 100 ! ... great Voice work , perfect timing , not too fast , great editing , beautiful photos . I had heard this story before but you did a really great job I think this is your best vid yet in terms of quality ..very , very professional and yet you still retain your own great inherent personality. If you're not already doing voice-overs for commercials , animations , and documentaries you should certainly think about it because you can there's certainly compete with some of the pros in the industry . I really enjoy these vids although I haven't seen all of them . I'm not sure if you did one on the Philadelphia Experiment yet or not ; but my father , who fought in World War II and grew up in South Philly said he remembers of that when it first happened and it was in the newspapers . Another one , if you have not done it yet is thoroughly researched and actually deserves a lot more time than the standard amount you normally use for your vids. A crime novelist ( I can't think of her name but as soon as I track down the info I'll mention it here ) She's very well off and she used her own money , $6 million dollars researching and promoting her theory about who the real Jack the Ripper was . I believe what her findings are : He was an artist , actually very well known in certain circles and he had a sister living with him . I would love to see a longer in-depth video about this because it actually needs to be made into a movie or miniseries but only if it could be done properly and not " Hollywoodized " .

[@cattigereyes1]

Cool video!

[@bousoupanda4980]

Nice, would also like to visit those castles someday!

[@danhuffman4455]

Good to see you back. Hope you are well.

[@xkiller007x8]

Your back!!

[@bettyluckey9497]

#BeyondScience #Mikey, Nice to see You back.. Hope You're doing better.. Cool!, You got some traveling in.. Great informational vid. Thanks for posting for Us. ; D

[@staceycampbell4024]

I was at that castle in 2015. It was SOOO BEAUTIFUL.

[@xoawolf]

Welcome back Mike

[@kit1063]

I visited that Castle in 2015! Absolutely amazing !!

[@ZGMF-X23S-Saviour]

Wtf I MISSED YOU SOOO MUCH. I thought I was going to have to find you in international data archives

[@kananaskiscountry8191]

way to go, im intrigued with castles

[@TheHappygirl99]

Awesome! The king's death is definitely a mystery....

[@koteto999]

Omg YES! I would definitely build myself a castle! It's been a dream of mine since i was 14 I guess.. and I plan on achieving it! Anyway I really liked the video and would love to see more videos on other castles' histories!

[@billsummy2412]

glad your back ...

[@Triumvirate888]

The art themes of repentance and salvation inside the castle suggest that the fairy tale king might have had some dark stuff in his past that he was very sorry about, and it might have come back to haunt him in the form of an assassin.

[@natto4now]

Hey Ur back

[@Nozylatten]

This one is going to be awesome can tell by the title, :D

[@Ricca_Day]

I think it's the foundational basis historically speaking for the Jessica Beil/Ed Norton movie, The Illusionist, or it could've been, but with a happy fairytale ending rather than the tragic murder of a maligned monarch.

[@americanfairy]

I was there this past March. It was breathtaking! Well, both in the literal and the figurative sense lol. I had to hike up the hill to get to the castle. But it was well worth it.

[@DirtMankee]

Nice to see Mike Cheng again.

[@DAGGERSPELLZ]

Visited all those castles when i was a child. And they were so overwhelming and beautiful!! Germany is such a breathtaking country. Nothing much i can say for our boring ol USA other than i still love it no matter what.

[@ashconner2293]

So beautiful

[@Nightcore_Paradise]

The amazing dumpling is back and ready to entertain me with that *K N O W L E D G E*

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Exterior's were used in the Disney film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. When the king died all work on the Castle stopped so there is at least one floor that was never finished to this day.

[@MelissaBrownapt215]

Hello Mikey. Wow. People get to this channel so fast. Even with my notifications on, I still miss out. I was watching Prometheus, so I diidn't pay attn to anything for that few hours.

[@baltimorez-wad7281]

Remember reading bout King Ludvig as a kid in a book I had from the mid-1980's

[@TheQuinian]

this castle and the village it over looks was the visual inspiration for the disney version of beauty and the beast

[@Yakcool]

Welcome Back :D

[@yahitsme5781]

You deserve more likes

[@Killjoy4evr]

[@TraciPeteyforlife]

Sounds like he got the stick by greedy relatives.

[@Juniorjess09]

Went to visit most of the castle when I was in Germany very awesome. Do recommend take the bus or taxie from your inn parking isn't bad but can get crowded at times

[@bamabby010]

Ive been there and it’s absolutely beautiful! My only complaint was having to walk a mile up the mountain in the snow xD

[@LazyLounge1]

What i didn’t knew you make these types i video I’ve only watch your other yt strictly dumpling

[@OrdricGamulson]

You should have also mentioned that King Ludwig II was a devotee of Wagner and the courtyard of the castle was designed as a set, to allow for performances of Wagner's Ring Cycle: Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung.

[@cultclassicdeadinside9862]

this is as dark and as mysterious as a fairy tale :o

[@avlisk]

Fairy King + thick forest up on a mountain + mysterious death = sasquatch attack?

[@bambi0607]

If you visit Bavaria, this is a must-see place! Definitely one of my favorite places in the world! 🙂 An interesting fact: Many of the murals on the wall depict scenes from Richard Wagner’s operas. King Ludwig was a fan of Richard Wagner. Thank you for the information on the king’s suspicious death. I personally believe he was murdered. 😔 It’s a really sad story. But if it wasn’t for his eccentric ideas, we wouldn’t have such a beautiful castle today. By the way, when I visited many years ago, they still had not completed building the entire castle. Do you know if they did now?

[@jocelynsedai9021]

Would love to know what you think of The Palace of Versailles and it's lack of plumbing/restrooms despite being so massive.

[@maxgosselin62]

I had this idea to build an underground TARDIS if I was rich, like the police box would be above ground, but there would be an elevator inside of it that brought you to the console room, or maybe it'd be built against a mountain so that you could just walk in.

[@msn64man1]

A mega mansion with a pool and lots of rooms guest house

[@gagago302]

If I was that rich, I'D BUILD A DAMNED PYRAMID.

[@MelissaBrownapt215]

gagago302 . . . but why? Well, not like the major 3 in Egypt, right?

[@bobbiusshadow6985]

If I was that rich, I'D BUILD A DAMNED SKY CITY.

Wow! I visited there when I was 12, but I don't remember all that stuff!

[@hritikbriones8732]

[@rabidpepe8053]

You have excellent taste in castles.

[@bonibroco1076]

Hi Mike! "The Fairy Tale King"....at 3:55 you called him "The Fairy King". Whether intentional or not, that apparently works too. Hehe

[@loreendegenstein5629]

Is there a list of Barons that would be relatives of Ludwig II? We used to be Von Degenstein until fleeing to Russia to escape execution.

[@gostavoadolfos2023]

He was childless and his little bro got brain syphilis. However the last king of Bavaria Ludwig 3 and his cousin had a dozen of children in a happy marriage and his other uncle had a dozen of children and empress Sissi was one of them. His family the Wittlesbach are represented in many monarchies across Europe.

[@Remoniq]

Am I the only one here thinking what kind of hell it would be to clean that castle if I lived there alone?

[@jamisonmcmillen4494]

I have been to this castle, and it’s amazing. Fun fact, nazis during WW2 hid priceless art at this castle since they knew the allies wouldn’t bomb it.

[@OrdricGamulson]

Also, it was used as Baron Bomburst's castle in the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

[@kaizenonlinept9469]

Wow that is amazing, i would go to germany just to visit that

[@rangergains916]

More videos please!

[@heidimarchant5438]

I wouldn't build a castle I'd just move into this one😀. Mike next traveling food vid go to Germany and kick this off of your bucket list.

[@LucienSabre]

I wouldn’t _build_ a castle, but I would definitely buy a small one - or a Tudor-style mansion - to live in. :) xD

[@warmfuzzyzen960]

Love castles as well.... however... who the heck wants to walk up a mile of staircase to go to bed?

Try to do video about another european fairy-tale castle. Bojnice Castle, located in Slovakia. Few great stories there.

[@Artsartisan]

I understand that King Ludwig actually had the architect - designer of the castle murdered in order that he could not make another castle similar to Neuschwanstein. Whether this is true or not; I do not know.

[@kevinpmccarthy837]

Hey Mike what about the Coral castle in Florida do a video of it.
