Schloss Linderhof

The "Royal Villa" Linderhof Castle. 

This PALACE was the most favorite of Bavarian King Ludwig II and it is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed. It has several phases from 1869 to 1886, built in. (its not allowed to take pictures or video inside). However, this PALACE is fully finish. Not like in HERREMCHIEMSEE and SCHLOSS NEUSCHWANSTEIN there  are some parts of the Palace are not finish yet. Linderhof Castle is considered the favorite of so-called king fairy tale in which he was staying, by far the most common. 

"He is very shy and he always wanted to be alone."

This is the cottage of his father King Maximilian II , which has a place about 200 meters west of the present castle was transferred 1873rd.

This is the first Palace that I visited.

Its in Germany, near Oberammergau in southwest Bavaria near Ettal Abbey.

A large pool with a fountain around 25 metres high occupied the area in front of the Hall of Mirrors in the southern tract of the palace.

VENUS GROTTO


The building is wholly artificial and was built for the king as an illustration of the First Act of Wagner's "Tannhäuser". 
Ludwig liked to be rowed over the lake in his golden swan-boat but at the same time he wanted his own blue grotto of Capri. Therefore 24 dynamos had been installed and so already in the time of Ludwig II it was possible to illuminate the grotto in changing colours.

Neptune Fountain and Music Pavilion


A landscape park forms the transition between the ornamental gardens and the fir and beech forest of the Ammergau Mountains. The paths that wind through groups of splendid beech, oak and lime trees and across open meadows provide the visitor with constant scenic variety.
