Amalienburg (Nymphenburg Palace Park)

Highlight • Historical Site

Hunting lodge in Nymphenburg Palace Park: The Amalienburg was built between 1734 and 1739 according to designs by François Cuvilliés. This pleasure and hunting lodge was a gift from Elector Karl Albrecht to his wife, Maria Amalia. The round Hall of Mirrors, or Grand Salon, is decorated in Bavarian colors of silver and blue, and, like the other rooms, is richly adorned. The Hunting Room contains numerous paintings. The Pheasant Room and the kitchen, with their wall decorations painted and waxed in the Chinese style on fabric wallpaper, have a rather exotic feel. Dutch tiles and vases further enhance this foreign character.

Nymphenburg Palace Park

Highlight • Natural

The Nymphenburg Canal is an artificial waterway in Munich that was built between 1701 and 1703 under Elector Max Emanuel as a form of forced labor. It continues the optical axis of the palace, the line of sight from Nymphenburg Palace to the east towards the city center.

Great Cascade

Highlight • Monument

Joseph Effner planned the Great Cascade, which was built in 1717. The water falls from a two-part water staircase, the first step of which is semicircular towards the west, and the second, lower step is shaped towards the east. The cascade continues the symmetry through the central channel. Originally, flanking architecture was planned, but it was never executed. Instead, four sculptures of Greek gods were relocated here from the Großer Parterre at the end of the 18th century.

Statues in the Grand Parterre at Nymphenburg Palace

Highlight • Monument

Greek mythology served as the inspiration for the pictorial program of the Nymphenburg Garden, created in the 18th century: The sculptures represent the sixteen main deities of Olympus. However, their placement was changed with the redesign into an English landscape park. Today, only twelve statues remain in the garden parterre; four were moved to the Great Cascade. Male and female deities alternate.

A stay in Munich without Nymphenburg Palace is almost unthinkable. Spacious park with a beautiful castle.
