Amazing, beautiful pearl of wooden architecture, but (!) The community does not let in, and even the surrounding area. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, and here it is ... I hope it will not be so

I visited here for the first time yesterday: July 23, 2021. Unfortunately, the fence around, the gate is closed ... On the one hand it is protection from criminals, on the other - visitors can't look in the middle of a temple at least through a window ...

One of the two wooden churches in Transcarpathia that have been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This church was built without a single nail

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.
