Herrenchiemsee Castle

Travel to King Ludwig’s Herrenchiemsee, a castle that is considered a feat of amazing architectural work. The Chiemsee lake has two main islands: the Herrenchiemsee and the Frauenchiemsee Island. Herrenchiemsee has a palace built by King Ludwig II in 1878, which was never completed but was meant to be a replica of the Palace of Versailles. Frauenchiemsee is the smaller of the two major islands on the Chiemsee, and houses a Benedictine nunnery, built in 782, as well as a small village. Tours of the castle and its extensive grounds are conducted throughout the summer. Tours not included in price (10-30€/person).
