Prien am Chiemsee

Prien am Chiemsee combines Bavarian small-town calm with the bustle of a lakeside resort in a way that reflects its position between Lake Chiemsee and the foothills of the Chiemgau Alps. The River Prien runs through the town before reaching Bavaria’s largest lake, while the harbour at Stock is a departure point for boats across its broad waters. On Herreninsel, Herrenchiemsee Palace was commissioned by King Ludwig II and conceived as an homage to Versailles; its unfinished rooms and formal gardens give the lake a major cultural landmark. Nearby Fraueninsel is known for its Benedictine women’s abbey, whose origins reach back to the early Middle Ages.
