Maximilianstraße 2, Loggia

The Palais Toerring-Jettenbach at Maximilianstraße 2 is a four-story city palace with four wings that enclose multiple courtyards. The facade displays a mix of Rococo ornaments and Neoclassical lines, while a columned portico added in 1838 marks the entrance.

Construction took place between 1747 and 1754 for diplomat and field marshal Ignaz Felix Graf von Toerring-Jettenbach. In the 19th century, architect Leo von Klenze restructured the exterior and gave it a new appearance on the square.

The building blends Rococo elegance with Neoclassical refinements that shape the square's character. This mix reflects how Munich's architectural taste evolved across generations.

The building houses luxury shops, offices, and upscale apartments in a connected complex. Visitors can explore the publicly visible facades and courtyards, with the best views from the Max-Joseph-Platz side.

Local artist Johann Georg Hiltensperger painted detailed horse murals in the portico, adding an unexpected artistic touch to the exterior structure. These wall paintings remain visible today and show the careful craftsmanship of 19th-century decorative work.
