Museum of the Bavarian Kings, History museum at Hotel Alpenrose, Schwangau, Germany
The Museum of the Bavarian Kings presents exhibits about the Wittelsbach dynasty through portraits, personal items, and multimedia presentations alongside a panoramic window view.
Opening in 2011, this museum earned the BDA-Preis Bayern award in 2013 for its architectural design and contribution to preserving Bavarian royal history.
The exhibition includes a steel mesh barrel vault and features a family tree spanning 700 years, documenting the transformation from Palatine dukes to Bavarian kings.
Located between Bräustüberl and Alpenrose restaurants, the museum operates daily from 9:00 to 17:00, except December 24, 25, and January 1.
A royal blue wall displays all Bavarian rulers, while a precious porcelain gift marks the golden wedding anniversary of King Ludwig III and Marie Therese.
