Feeling the royalty? Join us on our visit to the beautiful castle Herrenchiemsee, situated on the Herreninsel in the middle of Lake Chiemsee- Bavaria's largest lake about 70 km south of Munich. The island was acquired by the famous Kind Ludwig II of Bavaria in 1873. The king had the premises converted into a residence and erected the New Herrenchiemsee Palace based on the model of Versailles. Top priority was given to copying the gardens of Versailles as an epitome of monarchic splendour, in the construction of the dream worlds of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Herrenchiemsee New Palace was the largest, but also the last of his building projects, and remained incomplete. Don’t miss out!
