The Nymphenburg Palace dates from the 17th century and was built to celbrate the birth of Max Emanuel, the heir to throne. The palace itself was extensively modified throughout the 18th century. In the 19th century the gardens were transformed from the more formal French style into the English style.As well as the main palace, seen here from the rear, the grounds contain a number of other palaces and pavilions commissioned by the royal family. The extensive gardens to the rear are beautifully maintained and also connect to Munich's Botanical Gardens.
There are many more photographs and a lot more information about Nymphenburg Palace on the excellent website of the Bavarian Palace Department.

Really impressive palace!
I see also sth very interesting in the front of the building, maybe it is a pond or sth like that:) Any chance to see it in the future:)?

Thanks, and thanks for all your comments on the earlier pics too.
The structure in front of the building is a fountain and pond - maybe if the sun comes out again I'll go back up there and take a few of it.
