Schloss Biederstein, Palace in Schwabing district, Munich, Germany
Schloss Biederstein was a two-part palace complex with the Old Palace featuring a hip roof and five-axis window arrangement, and the New Palace situated near Englischer Garten. Both buildings stood on landscaped grounds that included water features and artificial hills.
Queen Caroline received the palace as a country house from King Maximilian I Joseph in 1803. The complex underwent several architectural renovations throughout the 19th century under different architects.
The site takes its name from the Biederstein Lake, which has shaped the landscape for centuries. Visitors can still see how the green spaces and water features define the character of the area.
The historic site now houses student accommodations built in the 1950s. Parts of the grounds remain accessible to visitors, though it is worth checking local information as it is a residential area.
The New Palace was built on an artificial hill where a previous belvedere once stood. This elevated position was part of a deliberate landscape design that gave the grounds depth and visual perspectives.
