Fraueninsel


Postcard
The island Fraueninsel (officially Frauenchiemsee ) is the second largest of the three islands in Chiemsee, Germany. The 15.5-hectare (38-acre) large and car free Fraueninsel houses 300 permanent residents as well as an active Benedictine convent.

Fraueninsel along with its sister island Herreninsel is one of the main tourist attractions on the Chiemsee, and is famous for the Kloster Liquor spirit, which is produced by the nuns.
