History says that this ancient medieval fortress was built at the request of the Bishop of Albi, during the 13th century. During the 18th century, this episcopal castle, a magnificent place of summer residence for these men of light, was abandoned (quickly) in favor of another place located in Albi. And since nothing is lost, and everything is transformed, these gentlemen will dismantle the monument to build others... And today, the result is there: pretty remains and pretty views!

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.
