Interiors of the palace in many respects repeat interiors of Versailles - a magnificent smart ladder, vestibules, a smart bedroom, table-room, a study, halls of the world and war, a magnificent mirror hall.
Grasps luxury of a smart bedroom - the center of a palace. This room is on court ritual by a platform of morning and evening receptions. The dominating place in a room is allocated a magnificent bed in the size 3 on 2,6 meters.
The Mirror hall of the palace, with a suite from seventeen arch windows, constructed in 1879-1881 under George Dolman's plans. It even surpassed the French prototype (Mirror Gallery in Versailles). All magic of playful illusions and warm shine opens this magnificent room at light of two thousand candles when in the summer in a weekend, during chamber concerts, thirty three lusters and forty four candelabrums are lit.

Things To Do: West side - Avenue

Tip Rating: |
|

Ludwig II never set out to produce an exact copy of the Versailles complex. For space reasons alone, the main focus was on those parts of the garden that were visible from the most important rooms of the central palace tract - the State Bedroom and the Hall of Mirrors.
Visible from the bedroom, was the access avenue of 900 metres projected length in an easterly direction, at the lakeside end of which a boat landing stage was planned.
The central section of the gardens on the east side of the palace, the large drive also known as the "Avenue", was provisionally completed with a gravel surface and the rows of trees on either side in June 1885.
