The frescoes in the oval room with the large marble basin depict the motifs “Venus in the Forge of Vulcan” and “The Toilet and Birth of Venus”.

The New Herrenchiemsee Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since summer 2025.

King Ludwig II of Bavaria had the palace built in 1878 as a "Temple of Fame"
for the French "Sun King" Louis XIV and as a replica of the Palace of Versailles.
