Fama Fountain Figure

Herrenchiemsee view map

Mythological figure at the edge of the Fama Fountain.
The Fama Fountain in the parterre in front of Herrenchiemsee Palace was created by Rudolf Maison in 1884-85
based on a fountain in the royal palace La Granja de San Ildefonso in Spain.

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.
