The Herreninsel (also known as Herrenchiemsee, former name Herrenwörth) is the largest of the three islands in Lake Chiemsee with a total area of 238 hectares. Together with Fraueninsel and Krautinsel, it forms the municipality of Chiemsee, which is the second smallest in Bavaria in terms of area after Buckenhof. It is known for the New Herrenchiemsee Palace built by Ludwig II.
