Neuschwanstein (Opus 33)

Provides information about the royal castle at Neuschwanstein, which is visited by one and a half million people per year. But for the architecturally educated, for adepts of Modernism, this stylistically crude, anachronistic monument to a prince's whim is simply annoying.
