Gstadt am Chiemsee

Among the towns of Bavaria, Gstadt am Chiemsee stands out for its close relationship with Chiemsee, Bavaria’s largest lake, and the island of Frauenchiemsee just offshore. The settlement occupies the lake’s western shore, where scheduled boats link the mainland with Fraueninsel and its long-established Benedictine convent. Frauenwörth Abbey was founded in 782 and remains central to the island’s identity, alongside small lanes, waterside gardens and local fishing traditions. Across the water lies Herreninsel, known for Herrenchiemsee Palace, commissioned by King Ludwig II.
