München Nymphenburg

Schloss Nymphenburg

After the intensive morning and midday, we headed to Nymphenburg with the local tram.  It originated as a summer palace for Max Emanuel.   It is huge, located on the western edge of the city, surrounded by countryside at time of chosen as the site of the palace.  The first design was Italian.  Construction stopped during the Spanish War.  The construction continued after but in the direction of French design.  The design is symmetrical.  The central pavilion became the focal point.



It's a long walk from the traffic to the palace.  The park was huge.  Walking half of it took us 2 hours But the time is worth for the peaceful and picturesque scenes.   Everywhere was green, a presentation of energy, life and vitality.  River, lake, building, pavilion, couple, family, lonely persons.....  All sorts but delighting.
