Hunding's Hut

Ludwig built this garden pavilion at Linderhof in the late 1870's, soon after the premier of Wagner's Ring at Bayreuth in 1876. The Hunding's Hut was based on the stage set of Act 1 of Walküre. It was used for late night parties where the King's guard would relax with Ludwig, laying on bearskin rugs and drinking mead from drinking horns. These parties came under scrutiny during the inquiry into the King's sanity. It burned down during WW 2.
