The castle was King Ludwig’s (known as the Bavarian Fairytale King) favourite castle and was built to his demands of a Versailles-inspired palace. Later we visit Oberammergau, it is a picturesque town famous for its fairytale frescoes painted onto many of its houses. It also hosts a huge passion play every ten years that people visit from all around the world.
