I could use a looser tap and maybe with a manual. As a disabled and elderly person, I do NOT have the strength for the faucet that is there and which is not for normal people ???. The gardeners had also removed more than DKK 400 worth of planted flowers instead of helping to water in the heat we have had this summer. You are mad ?????

Worth seeing church. One should not overlook the grave in the basement alcove. Very neat cemetery with a good view of the bridge to Møn.

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.
