The baroque palace in the western part of Munich was the summer residence of Bavarian kings. Five generations of Wittelsbach rulers were in the construction of this stately ensemble, which involved some outstanding collections of houses.
Given with its richly decorated interior and the famous "Gallery of Beauties" commissioned by Ludwig I, the palace is one of the most popular sights in Munich. Among the highlights are the former bedroom of King Ludwig II and the impressive banquet hall with fine ceiling frescoes by Johann Baptist Zimmermann.
Nymphenburg was originally Ferdinand Maria's gift to his wife Henriette Adelaide on the birth of his heir, in 1675. This was the beginning of a splendid baroque creation. The same heritage, Maximilian Emanuel, commissioned the construction of symmetrical buildings, which were connected to the central section of galleries. From 1715, released their set of monarchs enthusiasm, the artisans, mostly from France or Flanders, worked wonders in expanding and building of Nymphenburg Castle Schleissheim.

The landscaped park with its venerable trees, myriad waterways and secluded pavilions is an ideal place to go exploring.
Amalienburg
exquisite example of rococo at its finest. The circular hall of mirrors creates an ethereal atmosphere in the Bavarian national colors, silver and blue.
The charming pavilion was a present from Elector Karl Albrecht to his wife Amalia, daughter of Emperor Joseph I.
Built by Cuvilliés 1734-1739, the Amalienborg Castle as the most beautiful rococo pleasure pavilion in the European tradition.
Badenburg
First modern indoor heated swimming pool.
Public bathing scene of judicial enjoy: The Badenburg was developed with this idea in mind. The heated, tiled pool - very rare for the period - opens a hall decorated in stucco marble. Joseph Effner the pavilion erected in 1719-21. It was later rebuilt by Klenze.
Pagodenburg
In the Chinese style of Rococo: The most personal and intimate creation of Elector Maximilian Emanuel.
French on the outside, Oriental on the inside: the first of the garden pavilion to be built (Effner, 1716-1719) is like a precious jewel, with two hexagonal drawing rooms and the Chinese cabinet - the monarch's "Chinese luxury" soon became the rage. The octagonal ground floor is covered with 2,000 Dutch Delft tiles. The upstairs rooms are decorated in black and red lacquered and painted silk tapestries and paper.
Magdalenenklause
"Memento mori" a hedonistic ruler: one of the first artificial ruins in the European garden art.
The Hermitage is a beautiful sinner, Mary Magdalene, whose image is dedicated to playing in the paintings and in a stucco statue. The gloom of the retreat should the aging Elector Max Emanuel to move to self-castigation. However, the ruler died before the pavilion's commitment to 1728t
