The rooms designed for King Ludwig II of Bavaria represent one of the supreme examples of interior decoration in the second half of the 19th century. Drawing on historical and literary sources, the Bavarian monarch created 'poetic sanctuaries', private refuges from a workaday world he regarded as all too dreary. English/German.
