Amalienburg — Attraction in Munich

s well worth visiting during your time at Nymphenburg. This is a leisure building and hunting lodge built for Elector Karl Albrecht's wife in 1734. The palace is the works of François de Cuvilliés and is considered a Rococo Masterpiece. Opening hours are 9am to 6pm daily (April to Mid-October). It is closed from Mid-October to March.

The palace exterior is attractive but it is the intricately designed interior that you really need to see. We very much enjoyed viewing the saloon rooms here. The large saloon was designed as a Hall of Mirrors and is delightful. Luckily, during our visit, we were the only two in the palace, allowing for unobstructed views and photo taking.

Other rooms feature nice paintings and more heavily decorated fringes and Rococo style ornamentation. The kitchen is designed in Chinese manner, making heavy use of Delft blue and white tiles.

Overall, we were quite taken with Amalienburg. This was the most impressive of the four palaces you can visit within the park grounds at Nymphenburg and would be the first place we would return to the next time we visit.

Note: Entrance to Amalienburg requires a Park Palace ticket (€4.50 per person) which includes Badenburg, Pagodenburg and Magdalenenklause. Alternatively you can purchase the full combo ticket (€11.50 per person), providing access to the four palaces as well as the Nymphenburg Castle, Marstall (Stagecoach) and Porzellen (Porcelain)...

Amalienburg is a small but exquisite rococo hunting lodge nestled within the Schlosspark Nymphenburg.

🧭 Tip: You can visit Amalienburg as part of the Nymphenburg Park Palaces combination ticket. If the inside is open during your visit, it’s absolutely worth stepping in to admire the intricate...

If you want to see rococo this is the place. There is no furniture here but the walls are covered with three dimensional art. There is a Cupid holding a fishing net hanging down over a doorway. There are women ready to step down from their perch along the top of the walls. I can’t imagine the time required to make all of these details and fit them together. It’s small so you will get through it in 10 minutes if you just walk through. Take a little more time and you will be amazed at the details in each room. There is a small kitchen that is decorated in the Chinese style...
