The palace garden at Nymphenburg Palace has a lot to offer. The huge park combines landscapes that were created in different eras and yet have remained almost unchanged to this day. This also includes the buildings in the park.

The Amalienburg pleasure and hunting palace is located in the southern part of the garden. This is one of the most precious creations of European Rococo.

To the south-east of Lake Badenburg is the Badenburg, which with its light-flooded banqueting hall and two-storey bathing hall is an architectural masterpiece of its time.

The Magdalenenklause by Joseph Effner was the third building in the castle gardens. The hermitage was a retreat for Elector Karl Albrecht and is located in the northern part of the park.

The octagonal building of the pagoda castle blends European and Far Eastern elements into a truly exotic mix. A fascinating ambience unfolds between Delft tiles and Chinese scroll paintings. This two-storey building served Elector Max Emanuel as a tea pavilion in which exclusive celebrations were held at the time.
