In the Altes Schloss (Old Palace) is the Museum im Augustiner-Chorherrenstift Herrenchiemsee (Museum in the Augustinian Monastery). A Benedictine monastery was founded on the island in the eighth century, but replaced in 1130 by an Augustinian Order. The current palace was later remodeled in a Baroque style. It was secularized in 1803 and King Ludwig stayed here after acquiring the island in 1873. The museum has an exhibition on the history of the island as well as the history of the German constitution–an early constitutional convention met here in 1948. An art gallery has 80 paintings by Munich artist Julius Exeter (1863-1939). The Julius Exeter collection is closed from November to March. Admission is Euro 2.50, but is included in the combination ticket with the New Palace.
