Linderhof Palace (Schloss Linderhof) is a magnificently preserved palace near Ettal Abbey in southwest Bavaria. Also known as the “Royal Villa,” the Linderhof Palace is the smallest of three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and one of the most artistic and stylistically sophisticated buildings of the 19th century. Modeled on the small 18th century French palaces with Baroque and Rococo sculptural elements and influences from the age of Louis XV of France, the Linderhof Palace is surrounded by inspiring gardens and parklands that were designed and established by court garden director Carl Joseph von Effner in 1874. Linderhof Palace was the only palace that King Ludwig II of Bavaria lived to see completed.
