We went to church for confirmation. However, I could not see the pastor at the altar, because the benches are in the large octagonal room in the middle and I have no idea what the pastor said, because the sound from the pastor and the speakers was good enough .. But while sitting there, waiting for it all to be over, you can spend the time looking at the really nice vaults in the ceiling, which are made of wood. If one takes the time to examine the church and its history properly, then I am sure it can be a really exciting excursion.

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.
