Nymphenburg Palace Tour – What to Expect

This is not just a tour of a palace – it is the story of Henriette-Adelaide de Savoy-Piedmont, a French princess who arrived in Munich at the age of 15, knowing neither her husband nor her new country. Granddaughter of King Henry IV of France, niece of Louis XIII and cousin of the Sun King Louis XIV, she was one of the most well-connected women in 17th century Europe.

She came with a mission: to bring the Baroque arts – painting, music and architecture – to the Bavarian court. And she succeeded spectacularly.

After waiting twelve long years for an heir, Henriette-Adelaide finally gave birth to a son. In gratitude, her husband Elector Ferdinand Maria gave her the most extraordinary gift imaginable: a palace.
