The Neueus Schloss in Herrenchiemsee is a castle built by Ludwig II in 1878. The castle was to be a replica of Versailles, but work on the castle stopped upon Ludwig's death in 1886. Although only the centre of the castle has been completed, it offers many exquisite rooms to its visitors. The palace's most famous room is the Great Hall of Mirrors, which features 17 door panels, gigantic mirrors, 33 crystal chandeliers and 44 gilded candelabra. The room's vaulted ceiling is covered with paintings depicting the life of Louis XIV.
