Dachau Essentials

Dachau's historic Old Town is defined by its ridge-top location and rich cultural heritage. The center features the Renaissance Dachau Palace, a former Wittelsbach residence renowned for its ornate wooden ceiling, and the surrounding Court Garden. The town's legacy as a major 19th-century artists' colony is preserved in the Gemäldegalerie and the District Museum.
