Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

No visit to Munich would be complete without taking the time to visit the site of “mad” King Ludwig II’s New Palace. The very impressive palace, which was modeled on the Palace of Versailles in France, was constructed in 1878 on Herreninsel, an island in Germany’s largest lake, Chiemsee.

After you have toured the famous palace and the beautiful formal gardens you can visit the Augustinian Monastery which King Ludwig called the Old Palace. Here you will find the Julius Exter Art Gallery, the Mahler am Chiemsee Gallery and the new museum which opened in 1998, showcasing 1200 years of Bavarian history and the living apartments of King Ludwig.
