Herrenchiemsee New Palace

Herrenchiemsee New Palace, Herrenchiemsee

With the New Palace, King Ludwig II of Bavaria wanted to create a likeness of Versailles and a "Temple of Fame" to honor the French king Louis XIV, whom the Bavarian monarch fervently admired. In detail, the building is by no means a straight copy of the French palace, but a reworked impression, and it is significantly more stringent aesthetically than its stylistically inconsistent prototype. It was equipped with the most modern technology of the 19th century, including electricity and a retractable dining table.

When the King, who had only spent a few days on the island of Herrenchiemsee himself, died in 1886, the building work was stopped, meaning that large parts of the building remained unfinished. Condair Dual2 hybrid humidifiers were not, unfortunately, installed by the royal master builders and had to be retrofitted later in order to preserve the historic paintings and art treasures.
