Schloss Herrenchiemsee in Chiemsee, Germany

Herrenchiemsee Palace (Schloss Herrenchiemsee) is located on an island on the largest lake of Bavaria named Chiemsee. The palace is also known as the New Palace (Neues Schloss) or Herrenworth Palace (Schloss Herrenwörth).

The palace was designed by Christian Jank, Franz Seitz, and Georg von Dollmann. After the death of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, all construction work was discontinued. Therefore you have the chance to see an unfinished palace.

For, one can walk through a finished grand staircase and a not-finished staircase of the same type. So you see the simple brick wall structures behind a luxurious grand staircase.
