In June 1886, the Bavarian Government decided to depose the King, who was living at Neuschwanstein at the time.
On 9 June 1886, he was incapacitated and on 10 June 1886, he had the Deposition Commission arrested in the Gatehouse.[39]

In expectation of the Commission, he alerted the Gendarmerie and Fire Brigades of surrounding places for his protection.[36]
A second Commission, headed by Bernhard von Gudden, arrived the next day, and the King was forced to leave the Palace that night.
Ludwig II was put under the supervision of Gudden. On 13 June 1886, both died under mysterious circumstances in the shallow waters of Lake Starnberg, near Berg Castle.
At the time of King Ludwig’s death, the Palace was far from complete. The external structures of the Gatehouse and the Palace were mostly finished, but the Rectangular Tower was still scaffolded.

Work on the Bower had not started, but was completed in a simplified form by 1892 without the planned figures of female Saints.
The Knights’ House was also simplified. Only the Foundations existed for the core of the Palace complex: A Keep of ninety metres (300 feet) height, planned in the Upper Courtyard, resting on a Three-Nave Chapel.
This was not realised,[17] and a connecting Wing between the Gatehouse and the Bower saw the same fate.[40]
Plans for a Castle Garden with Terraces and a Fountain, West of the Palace, were also abandoned after the King’s death.

The Interior of the Royal living space was mostly completed in 1886; the Lobbies and Corridors were painted in a simpler style by 1888.[41]
The Moorish Hall, which was desired by the King and planned below the Throne Hall, was not realised any more than the Knights’ Bath, which was modelled after the Knights’ Bath in the Wartburg, and was intended to render homage to the Knights’ cult as a Mediæval Baptismal Bath.
A Bride Chamber in the Bower (after a location in Lohengrin),[23] Guest Rooms on the First-Floor and Second-Floor of the Palace, and a great Banquet Hall, were further abandoned Projects.[33]
In fact, a complete development of Neuschwanstein had never even been Planned, and, at the time of the King’s death, there was not a utilisation concept for numerous rooms.[29]

The King never intended to make the Palace accessible to the Public.[30] No more than six weeks after the King’s death, the Prince-Regent, Luitpold, ordered the Palace to be opened to paying visitors.
