This is Hohenschwangau Castle, the home of the Swan Knights.  It is the homeof Ludwig's parents.  It was built on the site of an old fortress from the 11th century.  You can see it in the distance on some of the photos of Neuschwanstein.

This is the table center piece that was given to Ludwig's parents as a wedding gift.  This is only part of it.  There are over 20 pieces, and there isn't a table big enough to display it all.

This is the king's bedroom.  The king and Quenn didn't sleep in the same bedroom, but there is a door in the wall off to the right, which the king could go through to get downstairs, right into his wifes bedroom.
