Neuschwanstein Castle - First and Second Levels
🕑 Added 2019-03-29 15:52:58 +0000 UTCThis is the first map I've ever made of a real place. It was built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who was known as "the Mad King." He was born in the 1800s and was really into Middle Ages architecture, so he had this built as a sort of idealized fantasy castle. I'll be honest, I can relate to this guy. Except I'm not the king of Bavaria and I can't afford to build these things for real.
My understanding is that most of the rooms of this place are empty and I wasn't able to find information on what a lot of them were actually meant to be, but since most people won't be using this map as Actual Neuschwanstein Castle, I figured I'd come up things to fill them with.
Also, the cellar is completely made-up. There is a door there, which is visible in photos and the place does have a cellar, but I wasn't able to find any information or floor plans to indicate what it looks like, so I just made it up. Everything else is drawn from various floor plans I found.
I'll draw the rest of it next, but I thought I'd drop this off for now.
An annotated version of this map is available to patrons.
