One of the jewels in the royal crown of Bavaria is without a doubt the palace of Nymphenburg.
Once the summer residence for the Bavarian monarchs and the entire court, it was built in the 17th Century by elector Ferdinand Maria as a gift to his consort Henriette Adelaide of Savoy, for the birth of the throne prince Max Emanuel.
A show of love and gratitude built in the style of the electress’ home city of Turin.
