Schloss Herrenchiemsee - Germany

by TinKan - last update: Oct 27, 2004

Schloss Herrenchiemsee
Monument
The Bavarian King, Ludwig's II decided to make a replica of Versailles but only managed to build this, a portion of it. This portion is the largest to be built and the last of Ludwig's three castles and palaces and is an island retreat.
The palace is located on an island in the middle of a lovely lake called Chiemsee. The island is named "Herreninsel".

On the island and within the palace you will find French gardens, a big hall of mirrors, and a stateroom where classical concerts are held through out the year.

By 1885 the palace was completed enough for Ludwig to finally fulfill his life-long dream and live in his own Versailles. But after all the effort and the money spent on building the palace, he only stayed here for a total of sixteen days.

Pros:"A wonderful day out on the island"
Cons:"Can be busy durring the high season"
In A Nutshell:"Nice place to spend the day in the sun and on the water"

 Beautiful mirror hall. I wonder whether this palace is open in winter though.

 Beautiful palace, someof it reminds me of Versailles. Very grand and wonderful detail. A great way to get around the island too.
