I learned today, and it was very apparent, that the elaborate Neuschwanstein Castle was dedicated by King Ludwig II to the composer Richard Wagner. Wagner's operas are depicted all over the castle, but Tristan und Isolde was the one chosen for Ludwig's bedroom. I imagine it's his favorite. I'm not sure Wagner's music would inspire me to build a castle, but it is admittedly very moving.
"Isoldes Liebstod, from Tristan und Isolde" Richard Wagner
