About Herrenchiemsee

High quality hoto of Herrenchiemsee - Germany

If you decide to visit Herrenchiemsee palace, be prepared to be enchanted by the extravagance and decadency seen once in a blue moon. This opulent fantasy palace was built by Bavarian King Ludwig II known also as “Bavaria’s fairytale king” on the largest island in the Chiemsee Lake. Construction started in 1878 but unfortunately was not finished by the time King Ludwig died, in 1886. In the extravagant interior visitors may explore twenty state rooms that boast décor of the most exquisite quality. But visitors are mostly overwhelmed when entering the huge Hall of Mirrors which is almost a perfect copy of the original Galerie des Glaces in Versailles. With its luxuriant decorations and furnishings, lights and glittering pendant chandeliers it must be one of the most majestic banqueting halls in the world. The palace also features Ludwig II Museum and the Augustinian canon seminary, both worth visiting. If you get tired of all the lavishness, go to Fraueninsel Island across the water that has a Benedictine convent and is perfect for relaxing strolls.
