The Nymphenburg Palace (Castle of the Nymph) is a Baroque palace in Munich that was once the main summer residence of the former rulers of Bavaria of the House of Wittelsbach. The castle boasts a 2,300-foot façade and stunning interiors with original Baroque detailing, along with Rococo and Neoclassical styles. The central pavilion is known as the Steinerner Saal (Stone Hall), and it features magnificent ceiling frescoes by Johann Baptist Zimmerman and Francois de Cuvilliés, including Helios in his Chariot. The Palace houses six museums, including the Schlossmuseum, Porzellanmuseum München, Marstallmuseum, Museum of Man and Nature, and the Erwin von Kreibig. The palace and the surrounding park are one of the city’s most famous attractions.
