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.
