You're standing at Herrenchiemsee Palace, on the largest island in the Chiemsee lake. You almost certainly came by boat, because that's the only way onto this island. Take a look at the long façade with its statues set in niches. Does it look familiar? It should. King Ludwig the Second of Bavaria wanted his very own Versailles right here.
