Did You Know?
Complex of Palaces
The Schleissheim complex isn't just one palace; it consists of three distinct palaces: the Old Palace, the New Palace, and Lustheim Palace, each built at different times.
Baroque Masterpiece
The New Schleissheim Palace boasts one of the most significant baroque gardens in Germany, designed in the French style with elaborate parterres, fountains, and canals.
Visionary Builder
The ambitious expansion of Schleissheim into a grand residence was largely driven by Elector Maximilian II Emanuel, who dreamt of creating a Bavarian Versailles.
Porcelain Collection
Lustheim Palace, the oldest of the three, specifically houses one of the most important early Meissen porcelain collections in the world, displayed in its original setting.
