Tucked in Munich’s western district is the Baroque palace of Nymphenburg. Combined with the Nymphenburg Palace Park, it was once the main summer residence for the rulers of Bavaria. It was commissioned by Ferdinand Maria and Henriette Adelaid of Savoy after their son was born in 1664. What started out as a simple cube-shaped building was expanded over the years, with construction ranging from the 17th - 19th centuries.
