Gifted to Princess Henriette Adelaide by her husband, Elector of Bavaria Ferdinand Maria, Nymphenburg Palace outside Munich is one of the most magnificent Baroque palaces in Germany. For 200 years it was the summer residence of the Wittelsbach dynasty.
One of its famous attractions is King Ludwig I’s “Gallery of Beauties” as well as the room where King Ludwig II was born. Hidden in the lavish park with promenades and canals there are four maisons de plaisance in Baroque style: Time seems to have stood still in the Amalienburg, Badenburg, Pagodenburg and the hermitage Magdalenenklause.
