Review & FAQ:
The Royal Palace of Herrenchiemsee was the brainchild of King Ludwig II of Bavaria as a "Temple of Fame" for King Louis XIV of France, of whom King Ludwig was quite fond. Construction on the "Bavarian Versailles," the largest of the king’s palaces, began in 1878 but was still incomplete when King Ludwig II died in 1886. Visitors can explore the large state rooms, the state bedroom, the state staircase, and the Great Hall of Mirrors. The gardens are in typical Versailles style and filled with fountains and statues. The location is absolutely stunning as the palace is located on an island in Bavaria’s largest lake, the Chiemsee.
