Nymphenburg Canal

The Würm is the outflow of Lake Starnberg. In Pasing, a part of the water is diverted and redirected to the park of Nymphenburg Palace, to design the central baroque water axis and to operate the cascades and water features. Real landscape art.

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.

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.
