Pagodenburg in Nympenburg Palace Park Munich: Tips and more information

Architecture and furnishings

The two-story, octagonal building was designed by Elector Max Emanuel shortly after the construction of Nymphenburg Palace and completed by Joseph Effner around 1719. The first floor consists of just one room with oriental-looking decor in blue and white, a playful ceiling painting and colorful Dutch tiles on the walls.

The upper floor is in Far Eastern style with exotic decorations on black lacquer. The small, refined rooms make the Pagodenburg a highlight of 18th century European "Chinese fashion". Along with three other park castles, the small castle is part of the ensemble of the Nymphenburg Palace Park.
