Photo credits

The photographs of the palace on this site come from Wikimedia Commons and are used under the licences their photographers chose. Attribution is a condition of those licences rather than a courtesy, so every one is named below with a link back to the file it came from.

The still lifes are not the palace

The other pictures here are props, photographed as props: ironwork, a folded map, boot soles on gravel, frost on a balustrade, a printed timetable, gilt on a picture frame. Not one of them shows this building, a room in it, the grotto, the park buildings or the gardens, and none is captioned as though it did. That line matters more here than on most sites, because almost everything worth seeing at Linderhof is a specific object in a specific room, and a picture of one of those has to actually be a picture of it.
