Constructed in 1869 by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, the castle was built to be his own private retreat. He built it in honor of Richard Wagner, a German composer and theatre director.

Shortly after his death, the castle was opened to the public and it remains a very popular tourist attraction to this day.
