New Palace Schleissheim

Just some kilometers away from my home, there are the palaces of Schleissheim. 

I went with one of my visitors to see the New Palace. Construction of it was started at the beginning of the 18th century, but then the Elector Prince ran out of money and stayed some time in exile in Paris. When he returned the work continued, but of the huge outlined plans - only the major wing was realized. 


The interior was decorated by German and Italian artists.

Sala terrena

Grand hall

The palace already became a public building in the 19th century featuring a lot of paintings and so it continues today.

Grand gallery

The Elector princes of the House of Wittelsbach lived in the palace and so several of the apartments are still furbished in the original looks.


Empress' Bedroom

On the premises, there is more to see the next time I go there: the Old Palace, the Lustheim Palace and the Court Garden that is still featuring a baroque style.



So if you would like to see these palaces with me, just come and visit me.
