Chapel? What chapel? Do I remember a chapel? Probably, but what sticks out was the throne room. The throne was never built, but there is a six-step dias in white marble up to where the throne is supposed to be and the painting on the walls right there is Jesus and the Apostles, six on either side.

I'm trying to remember a chapel. I'm sure there is one, but for the life of me I can't remember it.

Okay, at lunch I got out my Neuschwanstein book and I know why I didn't remember the chapel - compared to the rest of the place, it's a closet. And painted over the door to the chapel is "Tristan On His Deathbed". It's in his bedroom, where I got the giggles and actually said out loud, "This guy was a flaming fairy." Not loudly, though.
