In the gothic bedchamber, Wag ner again comes to the fore, for it Is adorned with scenes from the story of "Tristan and Isolde." Product^of Wild Extravagance. Llnderhof, another of Ludwlg's fan tastic palaces, is some seventy miles from Munich.' Like Neuschwanstein, it also is in the Bavarian highlands, sev en miles from the famous tqwn of Oberammergau, renowned all over the world for Its "Passion Play." Linder hof Is' In the rococo style, and was built between 1869 and 1879, when Ludwig was at the height of his wild career of money-ppending. Its princi pal feature is the beautiful gardens that surround it, whicto attract large numbers of tourists, who combine a trip to the castle with a visit to Ober ammergau. In these gardens is a bronze eques trian statue of Louis XIV of France, evidence of the mad Bavarian mon arch's hallucination that there was something In common between him and the great French ruler. This crops up again in the decorations of the Interior of the palace, which Include a series of portraits of French celebrities of the time of Louis XIV and his suc cessor, Louis XV. Ludwig did not for get a statue of himself, which is one of the adornments of the gardens of Llnderhof. Another object of interest Is an artificial grotto, with a small lake and waterfall, which visitors may have illuminated with electric light, provided, hotvever, that they number at least ten; or, If fewer, pay for as many as ten tickets?a good Instance of the frugality which ruled in Bavaria following Ludwig IPs career of ex travagance. ? LInderhofs gardens also boast a kiosk, In the Moorish style, with sta lastic vaultings. ' An Imitation of Versailles. The third of the series of Ludwig IPs "follies" is Herreuchiemsoe, an Im itation of the great palace of Versailles, situated on an island In the. Chiemsce, a small lake fifty-seven miles southeast of Munich. Dollman and Hoffman, two of the architects who built Neil sch wan stein (the former also did Llnderhof). were engaged by Ludwig to design Herrenchlemsee. They, worked on It between 1878 and 1885, but left it un completed, as by that time the Bava rians had had enough of the king's wild ways and were getting ready to lock him up. Herranchlemsee Is built on three sides of a square. In which are flue fountains?without water, though, for many years. In the vestibule is \a beautiful group of enameled peacocks ?these birds were great favorites with Ludwig. ' From the vestibule opens n court paved with marble, on the right of which Is a staircase splendidly adorned with marble, stucco and paint ings. Hie mad king never really enjoyed any of his palaces. His malady grew upon him from year to year, and he spent much of his lime restlessly wan dering from one palace to another, in dulging In wild night rides without definite aim, craving solitude. As early as 1880, sixteen years after his accession to the throne, Ludwlg's extravagance had brought financial ruin upon him, and It became apparent that cor.iethlng had to b*? done to cheek } his follies.
