Linderhof Palace
In a secluded mountain valley Palace Linderhof became the favorite refuge for
the Bavarian King Ludwig II. The romantic palace, completed in 1879 in neo
rococo style revives the era of the French Bourbon Kings, the interior decoration
glittering with gold. In the surrounding extensive landscape garden King
Ludwig had an artificial grotto built where he enjoyed listening to music by
Richard Wagner. Today visitors are also enthralled by the artificial lake and
waterfall, the light and sound effects in this “Venus Grotto”, powered by
electricity, which the King already had in use for these special effects.
