Residenz Munich

Also known as Muenchner Residenz

The Munich Residenz was the seat of the Wittelsbach dynasty, which ruled Bavaria for over 700 years, and it grew into the largest palace complex in Germany over those centuries.

The Munich Residenz is the largest city-center palace in Germany, built over seven centuries by the Wittelsbach dynasty, which ruled Bavaria from 1180 to 1918. The Residenz Museum covers 130 rooms of state apartments; the Schatzkammer treasury holds crown jewels from the 10th century onward; and the Cuvillies Theater is one of the finest Rococo court theaters in Europe. Half day minimum, full day for all sections. U-Bahn to Odeonsplatz. Combined museum and treasury tickets available at residenz-muenchen.de.
