  1. Indeed, whether he was mad or not, Ludwig built the ultimate fairytale castle. It truly looks like something out of a dream. I know everybody's money is tight right now; but maybe someday, the intended keep could be built, & the world could see the castle as the King meant it to be.

  2.  @katiedotson704  I believe they showed King Ludwig's original blueprints in this documentary, as well as some sketches he made of how he wanted the palace to look. The existing foundation is a decent starting point, as its depth & width of walls would indicate its load-bearing capacity. Too, even folks who've already toured the castle would pay again to see the new addition. As to completing someone else's dream? I can't say, friend, but I believe Ludwig would like to see it completed FOR him. Thanks much for your reply.

  3.  @steveperreira5850  You're right, friend, & even if Germany initially funds the build, the subsequent tourist revenue would surely compensate the govt. outlay. Thanks much for your reply.
