Munich Residenz (Residenzmuseum and Treasury)

The Residenz was the residence of the rulers of Bavaria between 1508 and 1918. On the site there had been a Gothic castle, the Neuveste, since 1385, and Ludwig I expanded the complex until 1842. After the end of the monarchy it became a museum in 1920; it suffered heavy damage in the Second World War and was rebuilt within a few years. The Residenzmuseum preserves rooms such as the Antiquarium, a great Renaissance hall of about 66 metres that was the first building of the new residence, finished in 1571. The Schatzkammer holds jewels, statues, caskets and goblets, as well as the crown of the kings of Bavaria. The complex also includes the Cuvilliés-Theater, an 18th-century Rococo theatre with lots of gold and velvet that still hosts concerts and small operas, and the Hofgarten, with free entry.
