Herrenchiemsee and Versailles

The similarity between the two palaces is quite striking. Ludwig obviously spent a lot of effort making his 'Versailles' as close to the original as possible.

As soon as I have the chance, I will be adding more comparisons between these two Palaces. This is an interesting excercise to do, but there are more important pages to complete at the present time. My apologies.
