Castles and palaces in Munich

Munich’s royal history is defined by the Wittelsbach dynasty, whose legacy spans from the sprawling Residenz in the city center to the Baroque Nymphenburg Palace. This collection features grand royal residences, specialized structures like the Amalienburg hunting lodge and the Pagodenburg pavilion, and the medieval Blutenburg Castle. Complementing these are landmark buildings like the Neo-Gothic New Town Hall and St. Peter’s Church, representing the city’s architectural evolution from the 8th century through the late 19th century.
