Moorish Kiosk (currently closed)

The Moorish Kiosk was originally created for the World Exhibition in Paris in 1867. King Ludwig II purchased it in 1876 and had it magnificently and imaginatively decorated with a glass chandelier, a marble fountain and the sumptuous Peacock Throne. Here he read and drank tea while servants appropriately dressed in Oriental costumes and smoking narghiles lent an added touch of authenticity.

The Moorish Kiosk is currently undergoing extensive renovation. However, a short film provides an insight into this fascinating building:
