The Residenz palace is located in downtown Munich between the National Theater and the Feldherrnhalle.  This palace was the home of the Wittelsbach dynasty from 1385 to 1918.

It took Muncheners 40 years to restore the castle after its wartime damage, but today the palace is simply magnificent.  It features a dazzling array of treasures from Munich's storied past.  A visit to the baroque palace will reveal a treasure-trove of artworks, ornaments, furnishings, an statues.

The Residenz is open Friday-Wednesday 9am-6pm, Thursdays 6am-8pm (April-October); Daily 10am-4pm (November-March).  For more inforrmation call 089 29 06 7-1.
