Herreninsel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The island Herreninsel, with an area of 238 hectares, is the biggest of the three main islands of the Chiemsee, a lake in the state of Bavaria, Germany. Together with the islands of Fraueninsel and "Krautinsel" it forms the municipality of Chiemsee.
Herrenchiemsee is inhabited by only about 300 people. The island is famous for the palace of Herrenchiemsee built by Ludwig II of Bavaria.
Apart from the palace the island also consists of the Old Palace Herrenchiemsee, a former Augustinian monastery (Monastery Herrenchiemsee).
