Christian Jank (1833 - 1888), was a German architect. Jank was the designer of Ludwig II of Bavaria's castle, Neuschwanstein. He was hired by Richard Wagner, a close friend of Ludwig's, and became both the king's set designer and personal artist, developing artistic renderings of the castle. Jank also designed the planned Castle Falkenstein. However, Ludwig could not afford this extravagant design.
