\"Linderhof<\/p>\n

Bavarians, especially those sporting the “Free State of Bavaria” stickers, are immensely proud of their King Ludwig II. Often dubbed the \u201ccrazy\u201d king (perhaps just for his fascination with palaces), Ludwig was a huge supporter of Wagner and a prominent figure of the Romantic era. The Bavarians feel that Ludwig\u2019s extravagant tastes, which differ greatly from the serious German Gothic style, highlight the distinctiveness between being Bavarian and Prussian.<\/p>\n

Among Ludwig\u2019s creations, the lesser-known Neuschwanstein Castle might bring Cinderella to mind. However, his favorite was Linderhof Castle, which he envisioned as his personal haven. Despite being smaller than other grand residences of that era, Linderhof was designed and decorated to leave a lasting impression. Its lavishly furnished rooms wowed guests as early as 1878, especially with the magical glow from some of the first light bulbs.<\/p>\n

The exterior features one of Germany\u2019s and Europe\u2019s most beautiful gardens. Behind the garden, there\u2019s a smaller version of the vast park at the Palace of Caserta. This area includes attractions like a Moorish kiosk, a Moroccan house, and Venus\u2019 grotto, all built for the king\u2019s and his guests\u2019 entertainment.<\/p>\n

Linderhof Castle is situated in southern Bavaria, near Oberammergau, about 100 kilometers from Munich, and 350 kilometers from Verona. It is open from April to mid-October, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM the rest of the year. The Venus grotto and pavilions are only accessible from April to October. Tickets cost \u20ac8.5, and for \u20ac24, you can visit Neuschwanstein and Herrenchiemsee castles as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
