No spectacular, but nice church. However, spectacularly incompetent church musicians and sound technicians. The church musician often plays very uncertainly and incorrectly at both funerals and weddings. Would rather be without music at my funeral than let him play. Then we have the sound engineer who is both extremely unpleasant and does not seem to have the faintest idea of ​​how neither a microphone nor sound and acoustics work. He works actively to ensure that the church (which actually has fine acoustics) is filled with roundabouts and he does not compensate by being pleasant or pleasant. He has both insulted and sworn at me at funerals and is usually extremely careless, unpleasant and unpleasant. It is embarrassing that the church, which is financed by the church tax, employs such staff when there are many competent people waiting for jobs.

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.
