Palais Moy, City palace in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
Description
Palais Moy is a neoclassical city palace in Munich's Altstadt district, rising at the corner of Brienner Straße and Theatinerstraße. The three-story building displays a facade with fifteen window bays arranged in a balanced pattern that exemplifies early 1800s design principles.
History
Architect Leo von Klenze designed this palace in 1824 for prosperous Munich residents as a representation of their status. It changed hands several times throughout the 1800s before being acquired by Count Moy de Sons in 1893, from whom it takes its current name.
Culture
The palace takes its name from Count Moy de Sons, a prominent Munich resident of the late 1800s, and reflects how wealthy families of that era chose to display their status through refined building design. Its careful proportions and elegant details show the importance these families placed on impressive architecture.
Practical
The palace sits in the heart of Munich's old town near the Theatine Church, making it easy to reach while walking through the historic district. Visitors can view its exterior from the street and easily incorporate it into an exploration of the surrounding architectural landmarks.
Did you know?
Severe bombing in late 1944 destroyed this palace, yet it was painstakingly rebuilt from 1950 to 1952 to restore its original form. A second major restoration from 1999 to 2000 brought the building back to its current condition.
