History of the Linderhof Palace

From modest beginnings to Royal Lodge (1869): The Linderhof Palace was founded as a simple forester's residence on land that belonged to the father of King Ludwig II. Recognizing its potential, Ludwig II ordered the house to be rebuilt as a "Royal Lodge" in 1869.
Expansion and refinement (1870-1874): Linderhof Castle underwent significant expansion throughout the early 1870s. New wings were added, a wooden staircase was constructed, and plans were drawn to transform the original wooden structure into a grand stone palace. By 1874, the exterior of the palace was largely complete, with a cross-shaped complex of new roofs.
Shifting the lodge and southern expansion (1874): In an interesting twist, the original "Royal Lodge" was relocated in 1874 to make way for a new southern tract. This changed marked a significant shift in the palace's layout.
Park finalization and bedroom expansion (1874-1886): While the exterior of the Linderhof Palace was finished by 1874, work continued on the surrounding park. The final plans for the park were submitted that same year. The final major addition to the palace itself came in 1885/1886 with the widening and extension of the king's bedroom. This expansion occurred shortly before King Ludwig II died in 1886.
Preserved legacy (1886-Present): Since Ludwig II's passing, Linderhof has been preserved as a monument to his reign. The castle offers a glimpse into the king's life and artistic vision, attracting visitors worldwide.

We bought tickets in advance for a specific timeslot, so no queues and tour was with audioguide (more language options available). The castle is enormous, beautiful, with lot of interesting decorations. I loved the "cinema" at the end, where we learned more about the history and historically planned constructions, which were never done.

it was a wonderful event! We met the guide at the appointed time and went up to the observation deck above the castle by bus. Then we listened to interesting stories about the creation of the castle and stopped at incredibly beautiful places on the way to the castle. Special thanks to the guide, it was educational and fun. After the tour of the castle, we went down on a horse-drawn carriage. Thank you for this fairy tale!

It was great experience that we could see the castle from the Mary bridge, best spot to take pictures of the castle. As well, the scenery looking from inside the castle was gorgeous, but too bad that we were not allowed to take pictures inside the castle. Appreciate the tour guide provided detail information and map that helped us to reach the castle in time, but it was too rush to head back to the bus after visiting the castle. The horse carriage was not a good option to go back, the tour guide should have told us.

Hohenschwangau Castle is the quieter alternative to Neuschwanstein Castle. Around 20 people took part in our guided tour with an audio guide. We were able to use the German audio guide, contrary to the selection made when booking online. The tour was just the right length, our guide Elke was very friendly and always had time for questions and short, pleasant conversations outside of the tour. However, photos and videos are prohibited during the tour. The online booking via the Headout app went smoothly. A printout, as shown on the online ticket, is not necessary. A clear recommendation!
