Linderhof Palace
Schloss (castle) Linderhof is a castle in Germany, near Oberammergau in southwest Bavaria at about 47°38′17″N 10°50′22″E / 47.63806°N 10.83944°E. It is the smallest of the three castles built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, also known as "Mad King Ludwig". Construction began in 1874 and finished in 1878.
Some of the Palace's rooms are the hall of mirrors, lilac, pink, blue, and yellow cabinets, and the tapestry chambers. On the ceiling of the colossal bedchamber is a four-tiered chandelier which is held up by angels painted on the ceiling. It is the only one of Ludwig's three castles that was completed, and is also the only one in which he lived for any significant period of time. In the grounds are structures including the Venus grotto, Moorish kiosk, Hunding's hut, and Moroccan house.
Not far away from Schloss Linderhof is the Baroque monastery of Ettal Abbey.
