Moscow - Herrenchiemsee

by Kuznetsov_Sergey - last update: Feb 13, 2007

Herrenchiemsee Schloss
In 1873 King Ludwig II of Bavaria acquired the Herreninsel as the location for his Royal Palace of Herrenchiemsee (New Palace). Modelled on Versailles, this palace was built as a "Temple of Fame" for King Louis XIV of France, whom the Bavarian monarch fervently admired.

The palace is located on Herreninsel island. King Ludwig II ordered to construct this palace under plans of Dollman (1878-1885) on the sample of Versailles. It is not only the last and the greatest, but also most expensive of royal palace projects.
Ludwig II
The actual building of this "Bavarian Versailles", which was begun in 1878 from plans by Georg Dollmann, was preceded by a total of 13 planning stages.
When Ludwig II died in 1886 the palace was still incomplete, and sections of it were later demolished.

Lime avenues to the east and to the west of the Castle conduct to the coast of a lake and define symmetry of all composition of park. At the bottom of the big external ladder the French gardens begin with the stylized orchestras, paths and ornamental gardens-carpets .

The center of the fountains restored in last years is Latona source created in 1883, a copy of a source in Versailles.
Herrenchiemsee Schloss-park
The magnificent staircase is a copy well-known, constructed by Frank d'Orbey for the King of the Sun (in 1752 taken down), ladders of envoys in Versailles. King Ludwig II aspired thus not to blind copying, and more likely to reconstruction in "spirit of style". Noble materials and rich picture registration under an easy design of a modern glass roof create the celebratory view.

The highlights of the large state rooms are the State Staircase, the State Bedroom and the Great Hall of Mirrors. The king's own rooms were in the intimate Small Apartment, designed in French rococo style.

 Schloss Herrenchiemsee might not be as opulent as the Palace at Versailles, but its location is certainly superior to that of Versailles. Beautiful countryside there.

 Wonderful page on Schloss Herrenchiemsee.The interior of the Palace is extraordinarily magnificent. Poor Asslan looks so sad that he did not get to see the Palace.

 Hmm... I don't think I'd want to go to a place where they don't allow bicycles. Interesting tips, nonetheless.
