| Dear partners of the Bavarian Palaces, Gardens and Lakes, |
the
winter season has begun, with very special experiences and impressions
awaiting you on excursions to Bavaria’s unique sights.
In addition to the world-famous highlights such as the Imperial Castle
of Nuremberg, Nymphenburg Palace and the Munich Residence, the 45
palaces, castles and residences for which the Bavarian Palace
Administration is responsible also include a number of lesser known
cultural monuments. Cadolzburg near Nuremberg and the Schleissheim palace complex in the north of Munich are still undiscovered gems that are as well worth visiting as the better-known sights.
Culture and nature also frequently come as a package. Enjoy Bavaria’s
impressive natural features and discover picturesque havens all the year
round in our parks and court gardens.
Join us on an inspiring tour of the Bavarian cultural landscape!

You probably already know Nuremberg’s most famous symbol, the Imperial Castle. With the Palas, Bower, Imperial Chapel, Sinwell Tower, Deep Well and Freiung it is one of Germany’s most important castles, famous far outside the confines of Nuremburg.
But are you aware that there is a hidden treasure very close to Nuremberg – Cadolzburg? Here the exhibition A castle and its lords, covering an area of around 1,500 m2,
transports visitors to the Late Middle Ages. On display are splendid
outfits, numerous original objects such a sword, a mace and a treasure
chest, and painstaking reproductions of objects from late medieval
times. The exhibition is a hands-on experience where you are positively encouraged to touch, feel and try out many of the items.
Tip: The combined ticket is valid for both Cadolzburg and the Imperial Castle of Nuremberg. |

To the north of Munich, also accessible by S-Bahn, is a real insider tip – the Schleissheim palace complex.
This is one of the most important Baroque complexes in Germany. With a length of almost two kilometres, it actually consists of three neighbouring palaces, namely the Old Palace, the New Palace and Lustheim Palace, which are connected by an extensive Baroque Court Garden.
Here visitors will find impressive Baroque court architecture and state
rooms boasting valuable paintings, important art treasures and a
collection of Meissen porcelain.
Tip: During the summer season we recommend a longer
walk in the Court Garden with its attractive fountains, followed by
refreshments in the Schlosswirtschaft Schleissheim, the restaurant in the palace grounds. |

Linderhof Palace
is one of King Ludwig II’s three world-famous palaces. While it is the
smallest of the three, it is the only one that was completed in the
king’s lifetime. Linderhof was the favourite palace of the ‘fairy-tale
king’, and the one where he spent the most time.
The park is no less impressive than the palace itself and invites exploration with its parterres, sculptures and ponds.
The park buildings,
which reflect Ludwig II’s enthusiasm for the oriental fashion and the
music dramas of Richard Wagner, are something very special. They are all
open to the public and each building is a small fascinating world in
itself.
The Moroccan House and the Moorish Kiosk
are the outcome of the fashion for all things oriental, to which Ludwig
II wholeheartedly subscribed. The three stage sets in the park: Hunding’s Hut (Act 1 of ‘Die Walküre’), the Hermitage of Gurnemanz (Act III of ‘Parsifal’) and the Venus Grotto (Act 1 of ‘Tannhäuser’) are from Richard Wagner’s operas.
Tip: The entrance ticket to the palace is also valid for the park buildings. |
