The setting is exceptional! The room is magnificent but some things need a facelift, particularly the kitchen area. Concerning the beds, here too, a facelift becomes essential, furniture is outdated and not very functional.

Magnificent location for a wedding. On the other hand, the rooms are really very light and leave something to be desired!! No hot water, broken shower head and above all the alarm which goes off at night without being able to stop it immediately!! I really think that there should be a complete maintenance and overhaul of the buildings regarding the rooms!! Ceremony on Saturday July 27, 2024.

What a waste! Such a beautiful setting, so poorly maintained! How is it possible to rent a wedding hall with such a dirty kitchen? Outdated equipment, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine unusable. The caterer had to bring all his equipment and recreate an annex kitchen so as not to take any health risks! We had to clean the outside, sweep the terraces, leaves everywhere. It was very hot this weekend, no air conditioning ok but no fan available either. No official deigned to respond to the family's complaints over the weekend. Service 0/10

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.
