The palace and park of Linderhof is one of the most diverse and artistic ensembles of the 19th century. King Ludwig II of Bavaria created this synthesis of the arts in the years 1869 to 1880. The interior of the palace is Rococo, but on a far more opulent scale than its 18th-century models. The park combines Baroque motifs, such as magnifi cent water parterres, with characteristics of English landscape gardens, including fascinating architectural features.
