Prince Karl Palace

Prince Karl Palace

Prince Karl Palace is a historic building located in Munich, Germany. Constructed between 1804 and 1806, it is an early example of neoclassical architecture, notable for its striking red roof and pale yellow façade.

Prince Karl Palace was planned and designed in 1803 by the young architect Karl Fischer. Its original owner was Abbé Pierre de Salabert, the tutor of King Maximilian I of Bavaria. After Abbé Salabert’s death in 1807, King Maximilian I acquired the building. Following the king’s death in 1825, his son Ludwig I gifted the palace to his brother, Prince Karl, and oversaw extensive redecoration of every room. After Prince Karl’s passing, the building was converted into the residence of the Austro-Hungarian diplomatic mission in 1876 and became the official residence of the Bavarian Prime Minister in 1924.

Situated in an elegant setting surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, Prince Karl Palace also features a gracefully designed fountain at its front. The interior is lavishly decorated and truly breathtaking. At night, the illuminated palace and the dynamic fountain blend into one, creating the most dazzling architectural spectacle.
