Schloss Herrenchiemsee, Bavaria, Germany -- While Louis XIV built a great palace at Versailles, all the plumbing was outside. He redirected the Seine river to power his many fountains. But inside, not a water closet was to be found. Not so for Ludwig who installed inside plumbing.Ludwig didn't want to replicate the huge gardens at Versailles but did want the view from the windows of his palace to resemble what could be seen through he windows at Versailles. Therefore the closer fountains bear the most striking similarities.
