List of castles and palaces in Munich

Nymphenburg 1761, painting by Canaletto

This page gives an overview of castles and palaces in the urban area of Munich . On the one hand, there are the residences of the Dukes of Bavaria in the walled city area and their castles at the gates of what was then Munich, and on the other hand there are noble residences located in the Munich city area today , e.g. B. Hofmarkschlösser a Hofmark . Buildings that have never been the seat of nobility and are only called “Castle” or “Schlösschen” because of their design or for advertising reasons are not listed here, city palaces of aristocrats can be found under Palais in Munich . The residences of the Münchner Hof, which are located in the neighboring districts near the city, are also not listed here.

Preserved locks

Of the structures still preserved today, only the Old Court and Blutenburg Castle show the type of castle complex . In contrast , the Neuveste , which was built in 1385, has been completely absorbed into the north wing of the residence and can therefore be regarded as an abandoned castle .
