King Ludwig II had three passions. They were solitude, Versailles and Wagner. He planned the Herrenchiemsee Palace
to reflect the glory of Louis XIV, the Sun King of France. Ludwig
succeeded by trying to duplicate Versailles Palace. He personalized his
version by building it on an island in the Chiemsee. It was about
one-third finished when he died, but is a worthwhile place to visit for
the landscaping and formal gardens.
