Aerial view of Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany, 1945
Photograph of Neuschwanstein Castle, probably given to James Rorimer by Rose Valland, 1944.
The photograph was at some point folded in half, perhaps carried by Rorimer in his wallet. Built in 1886 by "mad" King Ludwig II of Bavaria, Neuschwanstein Castle stood in a remote and rugged location. This fairytale castle served as a German repository for artwork stolen from France. |
