Schloss Herrenchiemsee, Bavaria, Germany -- To some extent, the lake serves as the world's largest moat for two palaces of the same Bavarian king, the "Mad" King Ludwig. He may or may not have been mad, but he was probably reincarnated in 1958 as Michael Jackson as he was quite eccentric and attempted to bankrupt himself through real estate. (As if you haven't ever been house poor.)Ludwig's first residence here was the old Herrenchiemsee monastery which he acquired in 1873. For him, this was a modest beginning and he left the exterior unchanged since its days as an Augustine Monastery.
