The Munich Residence Palace complex ranks among
Europe’s most significant museums of interior decoration and yet not too many
tourists make their way to the palace to admire the interior. It is located on
the edge of Munich’s Old Town, which during the summer buzzes with tourists. It
is a shame that this palace is forgone by so many.
The Munich Residence is the former royal palace of
the Bavarian monarchs of the Wittelsbach dynasty. It is the largest city palace
in Germany. What began in 1385 as a castle was transformed over the centuries, 14th
- 19th, into a magnificent palace. The complex contains three wings
with 130 rooms, the Cuvillies Theater and the Treasury. The art collected in
the palace ranges from the Renaissance, via the early Baroque and Rococo
periods, to the neoclassical era.
