Munich Residenz
The Residenz (German: Residence)
in central Munich is the former royal palace of the Wittelsbach monarchs of Bavaria.
The Residenz is the largest city palace in Germany and is today open
to visitors for its architecture, room decorations, and displays from the
former royal collections.
The complex of buildings contains ten courtyards and displays 130 rooms. The three
main parts are the Königsbau (near the Max-Joseph-Platz),
the Alte Residenz (Old Residenz; towards the Residenzstraße), and
the Festsaalbau (towards the Hofgarten). A wing of the
Festsaalbau contains the Cuvilliés Theatre since the reconstruction
of the Residenz after World War II. It also houses the Herkulessaal (Hercules
Hall), the primary concert venue for the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The Byzantine Court Church of All Saints (Allerheiligen-Hofkirche) at the east side is facing the Marstall, the building for the former Court Riding
School and the royal stables.
