Nymphenburg Palace, Baroque palace in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, Germany.
Nymphenburg is a baroque palace in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, Munich, Germany, consisting of a central main building and several side wings. The complex extends roughly 700 meters and displays light limestone as building material throughout.
Construction began in 1664 as a gift from Elector Ferdinand Maria to his wife Henriette Adelaide of Savoy following the birth of their son. Later generations expanded the estate with side wings and pavilions in the park.
The name refers to nymphs from ancient mythology, figures that appear in frescoes and sculptures across the estate. Visitors today can still see the original rooms where Bavarian rulers spent their summer months and welcomed guests.
Three museums are located on the grounds and display carriages, porcelain and natural history collections. Guided tours through the state rooms are only available at certain times, so planning your visit in advance helps.
The park covers roughly 180 hectares of green space with canals and ranks as the second largest public green area in Munich. King Ludwig II was born in the palace, a fact marked today by a commemorative plaque.
