Nymphenburg Palace, one of Munich’s most stunning landmarks, is a magnificent Baroque palace surrounded by extensive gardens, canals, and elegant pavilions. Originally built as a summer residence for the Bavarian rulers, it impresses visitors with its lavish interiors, ornate frescoes, and grand halls. Highlights include the Hall of Mirrors, the King’s Apartment, and the famous “Gallery of Beauties” commissioned by King Ludwig I. The vast Nymphenburg Park features romantic lakes, hidden temples, and the enchanting Amalienburg hunting lodge.
Nymphenburg Palace was commissioned in 1664 by Elector Ferdinand Maria as a gift to his wife, Henriette Adelaide of Savoy, to celebrate the birth of their son, Max Emanuel. Over the next century, it was expanded by successive rulers, evolving into an impressive Baroque and Rococo masterpiece. The palace was a key residence for the Wittelsbach dynasty and played a crucial role in Bavarian history. Today, it serves as a museum showcasing royal life, including the famous carriage collection in the Marstallmuseum and the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory.
