Donaustauf - Walhalla Columns

The columns and ceiling at the southeast corner of the Walhalla memorial.

 

The Walhalla memorial is a hall of fame that honours distinguished people "of the German tongue".

 

The idea for such a memorial is from (at that time) Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1807. The building in neoclassicistic style, modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, was finally begun in 1830 and completed in 1842.
