In April 1945, the SS considered blowing up the Palace to prevent the building and the artwork it contained from falling to the enemy.[46]
The Plan was not realised by the SS-Gruppenführer who had been assigned the task, and, at the end of the War, the Palace was surrendered undamaged to representatives of the Allied Forces.[46]

The Allied occupation authorities eventually returned the Palace to the reconstituted Bavarian State Government.
Thereafter, the Bavarian archives used some of the rooms as a provisional store for salvaged archival material, as its premises in Munich had been bombed.[47]
The effect of Neuschwanstein is highly stylistic, both externally and internally. The King’s influence is apparent throughout, and he took a keen personal interest in the design and decoration.
An example can be seen in his comments, or commands, regarding a mural depicting Lohengrin in the Palace: “His Majesty wishes that . . . the ship be placed further from the shore, that Lohengrin’s neck be less tilted, that the chain from the ship to the swan be of Gold and not of Roses, and, finally, that the style of the Castle shall be kept Mediæval.”[48]

The suite of rooms within the Palace contain the Throne Room, King Ludwig’s suite, the Singers’ Hall, and the Grotto.
The Interior, and especially the Throne Room Byzantine-Arab construction, recall the Chapels and Churches of the Royal Sicilian Norman-Swabian period in Palermo, Sicily, related to the Kings of Germany House of Hohenstaufen.
