Renaissance royal gardens

Hofgartenstraße
Innenstadt
Munich, Bayern 80539

Facing Residenz Palace, the Hofgarten (royal garden) was commissioned by Duke Maximilian I and built between 1613-17. All its paths converge on the dodecahedral pavilion in the centre, which is crowned by a statue of Diana, one of Bavaria's most recognisable symbols. The Hofgarten is enclosed on two sides by a series of arcades which were originally decorated with murals. The only surviving painting is Peter von Cornelius' fascinating depiction of the story of the Bavarian royal family.
