*[[Herreninsel]] has a palace built by King [[Ludwig II]] in 1878 called {{lang|de|[[Herrenchiemsee]]}}, which was never completed but was meant to be a replica of the [[Palace of Versailles]]. Many of its rooms are open to tourists; tours of the palace and its extensive grounds are conducted throughout the summer.
*[[Frauenchiemsee]], the smaller of the two main islands, houses a [[Benedictine]] [[nunnery]], built in 782, as well as a small village. The nuns make a liquor called {{lang|de|Klosterlikör}} ("cloister liquor") and [[marzipan]] ([[almond paste]]).
