Centuries-old castle (borg) in the village Wedde area Westerwolde Groningen. Beautifully restored and furnished with a museum function and children's hotel. Rich in history and well worth a visit!

A relief post was set up here during the Bruintje Beer Tour. Reception by medieval figures and a barrel organ. The castle, which houses a children's hotel, was part of this sponsored tour. The Castle can also be visited. Great for a trip in beautiful Westerwolde.

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.
