Schloss Herrenchiemsee

Trip Stop: 
Narrative: 

"Mad" King Ludwig II’s castle on Herreninsel. The castle is a replica of the Palace of Versaille, meant to be a sort of museum where Ludwig could transport himself in his imagination back to the court of Louis XIV of France, whom he rather obsessively admired. There is even a Hall of Mirrors modeled on the one in Versailles, but even larger.
