	Herrenchiemsee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Herrenchiemsee is a complex of royal buildings on the Herreninsel, an island in the middle of Bavaria's largest lake, the Chiemsee, 60 km south east of Munich.
		Cool maidens which look as if they have stepped out of a museum of classical antiquity are never too far from dragons, winged warriors, giant lizards and other extravagant beings which look as if they have come from one of Richard Wagner's romantic operas.
		In part because it was built on an island and accessible only by a small ferry, Herrenchiemsee and the Neues palais are not as accessible and famous as Neuschwanstein castle, King Ludwig's other expensive extravagance.

	Sam's Spec on the web - images - europe - ludwig's castle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		King Ludwig II of Bavaria was undoubtedly considered a very crazy man. Durring the time he lived and ruled he built 3 castles, the most famous of which is Neuschwanstein, the Disney inspiring castle built on top of a mountain peak.
		The third Castle he created was called Herrenchiemsee.
		As I said earlier Ludwig was very much crazy, and this castle only depicts that crazyness, he created this to be every bit as good or better than Versailles, unfortunately it was never finnished, I think it was 15 rooms complete out of hundreds.
