Guess what?! There is a palace (locals call it castle) near our house! Yeah, it IS a palace, the Schloss Nymphenburg. (‘Schloss’ means ‘palace’ in German).
Left-Center-Right view of Schloss Nymphenburg.
Left-Center-Right view of Schloss Nymphenburg over the large pond in front of it. It’s just too large!
See how close it is!
There are swans and ducks everywhere! Even in the sky!
A fountain right in front of the palace.
We went there in the very morning. Unfortunately Shi Yi accidentally forgot her camera thus she decided to come for another day. Left only YC and I; having different interests in different ways, we started our first solo tour in Deutschland today!
Ok lets have a little history here: Schloss Nymphenburg was the summer residence of Bavarian electors and kings. This is also where King Ludwig II was born. There are some pavilions within the territory of this palace and they are all cultural masterpieces.
The statue in front of the palace. Well too bad the palace is under renovation now.
This is how it looks when you just walked out from the palace.
The artistic roof and wall of the central hall.
One third of the King’s wives!
Don’t know it’s a living room or dining room or chatting room or whatever. But it’s gracious enough!
One of the bedrooms. Notice that their beds are tall but short! The tour guide (we somehow mixed into the tourist group XD) said that this bed is for sitting, like for close friends of the concubines. Bed for sleeping is somewhere else.
Ok enough for the front palace. There are actually much more photos but too much photos are for facebook instead of blogger!
And We Went In:
The royal park in the palace! I’d say it’s royal forest though, it’s too huge!
The central front palace from the back. Seriously I can’t different which is the front and which is the back, they are both elegant!
Another fountain inside.
A further look of the palace with the fountain.

Statue of Persidon. Statue of this kind is quite a lot along the way.
