Linderhof Palace

Linderhof Palace is a small rococo-style schloss in southwest Bavaria built for King Ludwig II of Bavaria and largely completed in the late 19th century. It sits within a formal and landscape park containing fountains, terraces, a cascade and the artificial Venus Grotto and is open to visitors as a historic house and garden.

As it stood in 1886

What Linderhof Palace looked like in its prime.

Compact U-shaped rococo palace of pale stone with carved stucco façades, niches with statues and a sculpted balustrade along the roofline, punctuated by dark mansard and small dome roofs. The main façade faces a broad rectangular water parterre with a central gilt fountain group, low stone coping and formal gravel walks. Broad symmetrical terraces and sweeping stairs connect the palace to the parterre and the stepped marble cascade that climbs the grassy hillside to a pavilion above, framed by clipped hedges and garden statuary.
