Herrenchiemsee - The Palace and Latona

Schloss Herrenchiemsee is located on the largest island (of the same name) in the Chiemsee in Bavaria.

Construction started in 1878 for King Ludwig II, as a copy of the Versailles Palace near Paris. It was Ludwig's final palace project.

Ludwig II resided at Herrenchiemsee only a couple of days, the works ended with the death of the KIng in 1886, the building remained unfinished.

The fountain with the statue on top is the Latonabrunnen (Latona-fountain).

The fountain shows the legend of the goddess Latona. According to this Greek legend, the goddess Latona was treated aggresively by peasants, so to punish them she turned them into frogs and turtles.
