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

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

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. On the 8th of Jun?, 188?,!
