King's House on Schachen, Alpine villa in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
The King's House features a Swiss chalet-style exterior with wooden balconies and stands at 1,866 meters elevation in the Wetterstein Mountains.
Architect Georg von Dollmann constructed this mountain residence between 1869 and 1872 following the directives of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
The entire upper floor contains the Turkish Hall, decorated with Oriental patterns and furniture inspired by the Palace of Eyüp in Istanbul.
Visitors can reach the King's House through a three-hour hike from Garmisch-Partenkirchen or Schloss Elmau, ascending approximately 1,000 meters.
The adjacent alpine botanical garden displays over 1,000 plant species from various mountain regions, including specimens from the Alps and Himalayas.
