King's house on Schachen

Meer over het boek

The King’s House on Schachen, built by King Ludwig II from 1870–1872, is located at a height of 1,866 metres in the Wetterstein mountains. While the residential rooms on the ground floor in the bourgeois style resemble an alpine holiday home, the upper floor is furnished with Oriental splendour as a Turkish Hall. Here an authentic atmosphere of Oriental opulence is created with gilt, richly decorated walls, a fountain, elaborately embroidered stools and divans and painted glass windows.
