King Ludwig II. of Bavaria
Ludwig II. Otto Friedrich Wilhelm von Wittelsbach, King of Bavaria, (* 25 August 1845 at Nymphenburg Palace, Nymphenburg, today Munich; † 13 June 1886 Würmsee [today Lake Starnberg] near Berg Castle), of the House of Wittelsbach, was King of Bavaria from 10 March 1864 until his death. After his deposition on 10 June 1886, his uncle Luitpold, as Prince Regent, took over the business of ruling in the Kingdom of Bavaria, since his younger brother Otto was incapable of ruling for reasons of insanity. Ludwig II. established himself in the history of Bavaria as the passionate builder of castles, in particular Neuschwanstein, Herrenchiemsee and Linderhof, for which reason he is popularly known as the Fairy Tale King.

Linderhof Palace
Linderhof is the only palace to be completed under Ludwig II. and where the monarch resided for many years.
Constructed on the site of a hunting lodge in Graswangtal, which had been used by King Maximilian II., it underwent two building phases, in 1871 – 1873 and 1874 – 1877, and even then was not quite completed: from 1884 the king had the bedroom extended. The period of production for the furniture of the royal apartments on the upper floor, therefore, spans more than a decade.
