Overview
Home to the Wittelsbach dynasty, which ruled Bavaria from the 14th century into the 20th, the Residenz was expanded over centuries into one of Europe's largest city palaces, with roughly 130 rooms. Highlights include the fresco- and gilt-covered Ancestral Gallery and the Antiquarium hall of ancient sculpture, while the Treasury (Schatzkammer) displays royal crowns and jewels. The palace's Cuvilliés Theatre is considered a masterpiece of Rococo theater architecture. Though heavily damaged in WWII bombing, it was meticulously restored and now offers the deepest look into Munich's royal history.
