Very picturesque church with impressive inventory and interesting history.. Most important place of pilgrimage in Denmark. Here became the wooden, miraculous Crucifix "St. Hjelper/St. Helper (Jesus with royal crown, cloak and shoes) worshiped until the Reformation. The crucifix is ​​unfortunately lost. The only representation preserved as a relief on the former Kliplev bell in Kvaers. Wolfgang Mohr, Albersdorf

Linderhof Palace

Linderhof is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed.

Ludwig II, who was crowned king in 1864, began his building activities in 1867-1868 by redesigning his rooms in the Munich Residenz and laying the foundation stone of Neuschwanstein Castle. In 1868 he was already making his first plans for Linderhof. However, neither the palace modelled on Versailles that was to be sited on the floor of the valley nor the large Byzantine palace envisaged by Ludwig II were ever built.

Instead, the new building developed around the forester's house belonging to his father Maximilian II, which was located in the open space in front of the present palace and was used by the king when crown prince on hunting expeditions with his father.
