Bavariapark, Park and architectural heritage monument in Schwanthalerhöhe, Munich, Germany.
Bavariapark is a green space with stone sculptures and old oak trees stretching behind the Bavaria statue and its attached building. The area was designed as an English garden, featuring open meadows and mature vegetation throughout.
King Ludwig I ordered the creation of the park between 1825 and 1831, initially calling it Theresienhain. In 1859, it received its current name, Bavariapark.
The park takes its name from the colossal Bavaria statue that dominates the site and gives it character. Visitors experience a place deeply woven into Munich's identity, regularly used by locals for daily recreation.
The park is accessible year-round and sits within walking distance of public transit connections. Visitors should note that a major road divides the area into two sections, affecting how you move through the space.
The area still bears the marks of transformation from the early 1900s when it was redesigned following English garden principles. Stone sculptures from that redesign period remain visible today, telling of the aesthetic ideas that shaped the space.
