Park buildings at Linderhof Park

Grotto – Moorish Kiosk – Moroccan House – Hunding's Hut – Hermitage of Gurnemanz – King's Cottage Picture: Moroccan House

The palace park was laid out from 1870 to 1880 from plans by Carl von Effner. Surrounding the palace are garden sections in imitation baroque style and terraces and cascades reminiscent of Italian Renaissance gardens. The adjoining landscape garden merges into the alpine forests of the Ammergebirge.

Ludwig II decorated the park and its environs with architectural features conjuring up the world of the Orient, such as the Moorish Kiosk and the Moroccan House, or scenes from Wagner's operas, such as the Venus Grotto, Hunding's Hut and the Gurnemanz Hermitage.

The exhibition in the King’s Cottage covers topics such as the building’s origins as a farm, its use by the royal family and its significance as a planning office for Ludwig II’s many building projects.
