Baroque-style former summer residence of Bavaria’s rulers.
Didn't get to go in unfortunately, opted for a great winter walk around the Palace Grounds, beautiful grounds they are too. I guess as this was out of season, we found most of the outdoor statues etc. were boxed up for their protection against the elements.
Because of all the snow I couldn't make out where the land ended and the water began - luckily we came away without a drowning.
They have a lovely conservatory which serves as a cafeteria - If you have a sweet tooth - GREAT CAKES ! Leave a Comment Directions: S-Bahn - get off at the Schloss Nymphenburg stop. Not sign posted very well.... but you can spend a lovely hour walking around the residential areas, some great houses - no rush - you will get there eventually!

The former summer residence of the rulers of Bavaria is located in the west part of the city in the middle of one of Munich's most beautiful parks. Five generations of Wittelsbach rulers were involved in the construction of this Baroque castle.
The building of Nymphenburg Castle began in the reign of the Elector Ferdinand Maria: overjoyed by the birth of his son and heir, Max Emanuel, he had the central section built for his wife in the style of an Italian villa (Agostino Barelli, 1664-74). In about 1700, Max Emanuel commissioned Enrico Zuccali and Antonio Viscardi to extend the castle by adding galleries and pavilions.

As I said on page intro,we arrived Munich at lunchtime,after having a very nice meal in a restaurant in the downtown (see my restaurant tip for more info),we started a very good guided tour in the city.
Unfortunatelly my visit to this amazing city wasn't very long just that full day,also we had booked a room in a hotel in the city.
We started our tour in Munich at Schloss Nymphenburg or Nympherburg Castle.We spent about two hours visiting this beautiful palace.It was built in 1.664 to 1.728 and was used as Summer Residence of Bavarian Kings-.
The Nympherburg Castle is without any doubts one of most beautiful Baroque Palaces in Europe.Don't miss also a visit to the wonderful gardens,fountains and if you have time enough during your visit there,don't hesitate to take a look to the Porcelain Factory,located just next to the palace and founded in 1.747.

We took a tram to Schloss Nymphenburg, what used to be the summer residence of the royal family. The entranceway with the small lake and large swans set against the palace is really pretty.
Inside only a few rooms were open to the public, many less than at the Residenz. The first room you enter is the Great Hall. I really loved this room. In all of the palaces we had been to I couldn’t imagine the people who lived there. Everything seemed so formal, so “unfun”. This was the first room where I could picture what it must have been like to have musicians playing and people dancing. Of course, I loved the queen’s bedroom as well.
In another building near Schloss Nymphenburg was the Marstallmuseum, which housed various royal carriages including a coronation coach, sleighs, and riding equipment. The carriages were gorgeous. They were so elaborate that you couldn’t imagine them being driven.
There are beautiful gardens around the Palace that are also worth exploring.
I recommend getting the audioguide so you can go at your own pace.

Schloss Nymphenburg was the summer-residence of the Bavarian kings and the birthplace of "mad" king Ludwig II.
Nymphenburg is one of the most beautiful baroque castles in Europe with a large baroque garden around it.
You will need the whole day in order to see all the various smaller castles and other places of interest in the large park around the palace of Nymphenburg - you may as well have a look on my seperate page about "Schlosspark Nymphenburg" - just click on my link below !! Leave a Comment

The Nymphenberg Palace was the summer residence of the Wittelsbachs. Construction started in 1664. Barelli and Zucalli, architects also acredited with the construction of Theatinerkirche, were the head architects. Baroque syle, with beautiful gardens and park. Leave a Comment

The Nymphenburg Palace was built in the Baroque style for the Bavarian kings in the 17th century. For those who have also seen the Versailles palace of Louis XIV, this palace is a bit like a toned-down version of that. For example, the gardens are very extensive, complete with geometric gardens and statues, but not quite to the scale of Versailles. Off to the side of the gardens in the back of the castle, one can journey into a forest for a nice afternoon walk. On the inside, the palace has a lot of paintings, mainly portraits. The palace's interior has a very light, airy, rococo feel that was popular during this time. One of the more curious sights inside the museum is the "Gallery of the Beauties", installed by Ludwig I. In this room, he placed portraits of what he perceived to be the most beautiful women of his day. It is interesting to note how the standard of beauty has changed since then. Directions: 3 km west of the main tourist district/center of town. Take Tramway 17 to Schloss Nymphenburg

At the extreme southern end of the Nymphenburg Palace and basically unvisited, this remarkable museum opened in 1950 in the former royal stables and houses a great collection of royal coaches, sleighs, and harness equipment as well as oil paintings of 28 of Ludwig I favorite horses. The prize is the coronation coach of HRE Karl Albrecht drawn by eight horses ( kings only had 6 ). Mary Amalia's hunting sleigh is included here with Diana on the prow. In the far back room are the spectacular ornate coaches and sleighs of Ludwig II, each inch covered with sculpture and painting. A small carousel occupies one corner of the museum. Sadly, these exhibits are not labelled even in German, detracting from a great experience. The Porcelain Museum is adjacent and one ticket covers both. Note on the 5th image the figure holding aloft the crown. The Wittelsbach dynasty was not known for subtlety.
The Nymphenburg Travelogue contains more images of the Marstall Museum. Leave a Comment

There is a gallery of art there and also a museum, you can visit the indoors of Nymphenburg. There are also few other interesting building in the area of Nymphenburg like Amalienburg or Magdalenenklause. Leave a Comment
