Chiemsee

Lake Chiemsee defines the setting of Chiemsee — this island municipality centres on Herreninsel, Fraueninsel and the small Krautinsel, with ferries linking them to the lake’s shores. Herreninsel is home to Herrenchiemsee, the unfinished palace commissioned by King Ludwig II as a homage to Versailles; its formal gardens and ceremonial rooms embody one of Bavaria’s most ambitious 19th-century projects. On nearby Fraueninsel, the Benedictine Frauenwörth Abbey has shaped island life for centuries, alongside fishing traditions and waterside houses. The lake lies in Chiemgau, north of the Bavarian Alps. Find related webcams around Lake Chiemsee and Chiemgau to build a fuller picture of this Bavarian lake region.
