Really nice friendly welcome. A very clear and detailed tour of the history and the building by our guide. Many thanks, we enjoyed it and it was special as we were the only two on the 5.00pm tour.

Beautiful 16th-17th century castle currently being restored to its former glory. They only offer guided tours as the castle is privately owned and operated. Our tour guide was phenomenal! She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, she really brought the castle back to life! FYI, they even offer escape room challenges for those inclined! Definitely inquire if interested. It was definitely worth the trip!

Phenomenal place to visit with the family, little gem for the history buffs and a living case of how private owners can bring to life an extraordinary piece of history. Place itself is super cool but above all the guides, both for adults and kids, are superb. And all for pennies. What a treat, 5 stars is not enough!

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.
