Schleissheim Palace

Museum

Schleißheim Palace in Oberschleißheim, north of Munich, is a Baroque palace complex in Bavaria. It comprises an ensemble of three palaces – the Old Palace, the New Palace, and Lustheim Palace – connected by a garden. Originally conceived as a summer residence for the Bavarian Electors, Schleißheim is one of Germany's Baroque complexes and is now a museum destination.

History+

The origins of the complex date back to 1597, when Duke Wilhelm V acquired an estate with a chapel and had farm buildings and a manor house built there. His son, Duke Maximilian I, replaced the manor house with the current Old Palace between 1617 and 1623. Later, on the occasion of his wedding in 1685, Elector Max Emanuel had Lustheim Palace constructed. From 1701, he began building the New Palace, intended as a residence, but it remained unfinished due to political and financial difficulties. The Old Palace was severely damaged in World War II and restored after 1970.
