Dianatempel

The twelve-sided Diana Temple features eight open and four closed round arcades, forming the central point of the Hofgarten's main pathways intersection.

Built between 1613 and 1617 under Maximilian I of Bavaria, the pavilion showcases Italian architectural elements and includes shell fountains on its interior walls.

The bronze statue mounted on the temple roof represents Bavaria's wealth, replacing the original Diana figure now preserved in the Residenzmuseum.

The temple remains accessible to the public throughout the year, except during special events or filming activities that may restrict entrance temporarily.

During summer evenings, the pavilion transforms into an informal dance space where people practice tango, salsa, and swing dancing.
