Imposing castle nestled in a village of character with a few old buildings, a bread oven, a laundry (pleasantly cool during this heat wave) and a ferradou. Short castle visit (about 30 to 45 minutes) nevertheless interesting. We visit part of the owners' apartments. Renovation over time and finances, respecting the building. A little short, nevertheless it is worth the detour for those who love castles and old stones.

Restoration in progress of an old fortified castle...saved from demolition...worth a little detour to help this family continue to restore the castle. There is a motorway exit and a stopover village...

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.
