Great place. Recommend.

Robert “Baggen” Högberg (4 years ago)
Incredibly beautiful area with fantastic environment and a castle with an intact moat. Note, however, that it is a private area for the most part, including the castle

Louise Lönn Ardefelt (4 years ago)
Beautiful environment and friendly staff! Now all that remains is to taste the must we bought.

En historisk plats , i full nutida verksamhet. Promenera i miljön. Tänk på att det är privat mark.

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.
