Before 1871, Bavaria was an independent principality, and there was a king named Ludwig II, who reigned mediocre but full of mystery. He was arrogant and noble, with a romantic idealistic personality, leaving several castles and palaces with high artistic achievements to posterity. During his lifetime, he built three castle palaces, Hellenki Münzer Palace, Lindhof Palace and Neuschwanstein Castle. Today we will take a look at one of these Lindhof Palaces.

From Upper Amorgaux, I changed buses, but it took about 25 minutes to reach the Lindhof Palace. After buying tickets at the door and then walking to the Lindenhof Palace at the end, it takes 15 minutes to walk, but it is not boring to be surrounded by flowers and birds and beautiful small shops. At this time, a young man came to us and shyly greeted Lui, who turned out to be Lui's roommate at the Garmisch Youth Hostel, a Korean boy who had just graduated. Lui said he didn't speak english well and didn't speak much, but he didn't have any trouble playing along the way. After we visited Lindhof Palace together, the Korean boy said goodbye to us. As we walked and talked, the schloss linderhof arrived.
The Lindhof Palace is arguably an outstanding example of historicist style horticulture. The palace is surrounded by Baroque garden facilities such as large flower beds and fountains, as well as Italian Renaissance-style platforms and stepped artificial waterfalls. The annual Ludwig King Bonfire is held every year on 24 August, the eve of Ludwig II's birthday. On this day, the entire region of Amogau was commemorated for the anniversary of the birth of Ludwig II. It's a real treat to overlook this castle between green hills and valleys.
We decided to visit the castle first, led by a guide, and were not allowed to leave the group or take pictures. This mode is really uncomfortable for tourists, but all that should be seen is seen, but the time is limited, too much dragonfly water, the eyes can only follow the tour guide's explanation into the seat to take a quick glance, no time to see more, or quite regrettable. The interior of The Lindhof Palace is not large, but the decoration is exquisite, gold and blue matching, gold, purple and red matching, gold, green and white matching of the various rooms, especially the peacock statue, lifting the table, etc., are very individual, the whole process is wide open eyes, sighing admiration.
The rich Bavarian lands, known as the "Fairy King", "Lindhof Palace", although built later than Neuschwanstein Castle, is the only palace building completed during the king's lifetime. Lindehofburg is a strong pursuit of the grotesque and complex Rococo style, mixed with oriental colors. The dining room is gracefully oval-shaped, the room is shiny red, and in the middle of the dining room is placed a "self-serving magic table" that can be raised and lowered, that is, the king who is afraid of seeing people can eat alone. The life of Ludwig II is truly enigmatic and intriguing.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention Ludwig II of Bavaria, who is known as the "Fairy King", "Swan King" and "Mad King Ludwig". The king, who was highly criticized by the world during his reign, was extremely artistically gifted in his political achievements, he was fascinated by culture and art, and as a teenager he fell in love with the works of the composer Wagner, comparing himself to the swan knight in Wagner's opera "Ron Green"; as an adult, he was keen to build palace castles, Germany's greatest castles Neuschwanstein Castle, Lindhof Palace and Hellenki Münzer Palace are his masterpieces, and he owes tens of millions of yuan in debt.

Ludwig II, who was 1.90 meters tall, worshipped Louis XIV and called himself the Moon King. Ironically, the castles he built today are the most important source of income for German tourism. Unfortunately, Ludwig II drowned at the age of 40, and some people suspect that he was murdered, which remains a mystery to this day.
After visiting the Royal Palace, walk along the boulevard for a while to reach the Venus Grotto, which is also a guided tour. On the small lake after entering the cave, a golden swan boat floats in the water, and the background depicts the protagonist of Wagner's opera "Don Huaiser" lying in the arms of Madame Venus in the Huishou Mountain. At this moment, we also enjoyed the dreamlike opera scene like Ludwig II of that year.
Leaving the Venus Caves, heading forward, you'll come to the moorish kiosk. It was designed by the Berlin architect Karl von Diebitsch for the 1867 Paris World's Fair, and later, Ludwig bought it and placed it here.
The Linderhof Palace was the only royal palace completed during Ludwig II's lifetime, and he later lived here regularly. The Lindhof Palace is based on a hunting house, and there are countless exquisite sculptures in the garden, which are indescribably beautiful in the sun.
We returned to the main axis of the palace and came to the music pavilion in the middle of the mountain. Here, you can see the royal palace, gardens, water pavilions under the valley, and the Temple of Venus on the opposite hillside.
Beautiful and deep corridors
Aesthetic sculptures under the sky
On the main axis are gardens, fountains, and green concert halls on the hillside.
Sculptures, sculptures, good-looking sculptures everywhere.
Two cherub-like porcelain children, the color scheme is very oriental.
Meet a group of elderly people on foot, performing court etiquette in the palace garden. The childlike heart is not lost.
This is the Temple of Venus on a hill on the other side of the central axis. The Venus sculpture in white jade is white and flawless.
While admiring the exquisite palaces overlooking the Lindhof Palace in the Venus Temple, I have always thought of the mysterious Ludwig II, such a magical and charming king, probably not thinking that these palaces that he spent his life building against the scolding will become the places that people all over the world love and yearn for, right?
After visiting the Lindhof Palace, I was quite emotional, who can clearly explain the cause and effect of the world? The sky is blue and white clouds, the birds are chirping around, strolling into the souvenir shop, slowly looking over, everywhere is beautiful and romantic.
I gathered inspiration for a trip to Lindehof castle in Germany, a place to experience with everyone.
4-10 months to play the best.
