Schloss Herrenchiemsee, Germany - Palace

Lakes, Palace

In 1873 King Ludwig II of Bavaria acquired the Herreninsel with the purpose of building his Royal Palace in the middle of Bavaria's biggest lake. And one can barely find his willpower astonishing as the place is truly magnificent. Modeled on Versailles, Herrenchiemsee (New Palace) was Ludwig's concluding and most extravagant mission, overriding more money and effort than his other two castles. The essence of lavishness, overabundance, pride, and magnificence, swarming with gold and sparkly in its thousand mirrors, the place should not be missed for, be it for the magnificent scenery or the palace itself.
