Linderhof Palace, Royal palace in Ettal, Germany
The palace features a central building with two lateral wings, displaying numerous ornate rooms decorated with mirrors, gold leaf, and ivory furnishings.
King Ludwig II commissioned this palace in 1869, transforming his father's hunting lodge into an elaborate residence that was completed in 1878.
Each room within the palace reflects King Ludwig's appreciation for French architecture, particularly the Palace of Versailles and Louis XIV's reign.
Visitors can join guided tours lasting 25 minutes from April through October, with different schedules during summer and winter seasons.
The dining room contains a mechanical table that could be lowered to the kitchen and raised back, allowing King Ludwig to eat without servants present.
