Arco-Zinneberg Palace

The Arco-Zinneberg Palace occupies a prominent corner at Wittelsbacherplatz and displays a refined neoclassical facade with regularly spaced windows and classical proportions. The building now serves as office and commercial space while retaining its original architectural character throughout its exterior.

Leo von Klenze designed the palace in 1824 as a residence for the Arco family in Munich's growing Maxvorstadt district. Following wartime destruction, architect Roderich Fick oversaw its reconstruction from 1959 to 1960, restoring it to its former appearance.

The palace served as residence for Count Maximilian von Arco-Zinneberg and his family of thirteen children during nineteenth-century winter seasons point.

The building remains in private ownership and is used for offices and commercial purposes, so there is no public access inside. You can admire the neoclassical facade from Wittelsbacherplatz and observe the architectural details from the street.

The eastern facade features thirteen window axes with three centrally positioned ones projecting forward as a prominent risalit. This architectural emphasis creates visual interest within the otherwise restrained neoclassical design and breaks the strict symmetry.
