Museen

Nymphenburg Palace, an impressive Baroque complex in western Munich, is one of Europe's largest royal palaces. Originally built as a summer residence for the Wittelsbach dynasty, it now fascinates visitors with its magnificent architecture, extensive gardens, and rich history.

History+

The origins of Nymphenburg Palace date back to 1664, when Elector Ferdinand Maria presented it to his wife, Adelheid of Savoy, upon the birth of their heir, Max Emanuel. He later played a significant role in expanding the complex. In 1741, the Treaty of Nymphenburg was signed here, an alliance between France, Spain, Bavaria, Saxony, and Prussia against Austria. Elector Max III Joseph founded the famous Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory in 1747. Towards the end of the 18th century, in 1792, Elector Karl Theodor opened the palace park to the public.
