About
Linderhof Palace (Schloss Linderhof) stands in Ettal, in Bavaria, Germany, at Linderhof 12, 82488 Ettal. It is the smallest of the palaces built by King Ludwig II, and it is the only one he lived to see completed, which gives the house a distinct place among his residences.
What to see
The palace is known for its rococo interiors, where the decoration is rich and detailed throughout the rooms. Outside, the elaborate park is a major part of the visit, with a grotto and fountains set among the grounds. Many visitors give the gardens as much time as the house itself.
