Characteristic of Neuschwanstein’s design are theatre themes: Christian Jank drew on Coulisse drafts from his time as a scenic painter.[23]
The basic Style was first planned to be Neo-Gothic, but the Palace was primarily built in Romanesque Style. The Operatic themes moved gradually from Tannhäuser and Lohengrin to Parsifal.[24]

The Foundation Stone for the Palace was laid on 5 September 1869; in 1872, its Cellar was completed, and, in 1876, everything up to the First Floor, the Gatehouse being finished first.
At the end of 1882, it was completed and fully furnished, allowing Ludwig to take provisional lodgings there and observe the ongoing construction work.[24]
In 1874, management of the Civil Works passed from Eduard Riedel to Georg von Dollmann.[26] The Topping Out ceremony for the Palace was in 1880, and, in 1884, the King moved in to the new building.

In the same year, the direction of the Project passed to Julius Hofmann [de], after Dollmann had fallen from the King’s favour.
The Palace was erected as a conventional brick construction and later encased in various types of rock. The White Limestone came from a nearby Quarry.[27]
The Sandstone Bricks for the Portals and Bay Windows came from Schlaitdorf, in Württemberg. Marble, from Untersberg, near Salzburg, was used for the Windows, the Arch Ribs, the Columns, and the Capitals.
The Throne Hall was a later addition to the Plans and required a Steel framework.

The transport of building materials was facilitated by scaffolding and a Steam Crane that lifted the material to the construction site.
Another Crane was used at the construction site. The recently-founded Dampfkessel-Revisionsverein (Steam Boiler Inspection Association) regularly inspected both Boilers.
