Schloss Nymphenburg
"The perfect castle complex," "a masterpiece of Bavarian Rococo," "a real piece of garden art," "the apotheosis of the chambers," "a unique swimming pool." It is difficult to imagine it all in one place, but it still exists. His name - Nymphenburg, and the road to it is not so distant. The residence is located in north-western part of Munich.
In the XVII century. a small building has not received such rave reviews. Elector Ferdinand Maria and Henriette Adelaide his wife Savoy settling for less, by the standards of his time.

The project worked best European professionals. New buildings appeared as if by magic: a hunting lodge, Amalineburg, garden pavilion, Pagodenburg, heated swimming pool, Badenburg, and even Mary Magdalene hermitage with a chapel, a grotto, from social life, too, had to rest.
Walking through the park area of 200 hectares can be long, especially because of the way there are very interesting objects, each of which is worthy of attention: waterfalls, gazebos, fountains and statues.
