Dachau Palace

Dachau Palace is a former ducal and electoral residence near Munich, built on the site of a medieval castle and remade in Renaissance and later Baroque fashions. The four-wing Renaissance palace (completed 1577) was remodelled in the early 18th century by Joseph Effner; only the south‑west wing survives intact today. The building and its terraced court garden are managed as a state palace and are open to visitors.

As it stood in 1725

The shape it held in its prime.

A long, two-storey south‑west wing of pale yellow stucco with regularly spaced tall arched windows and pilaster divisions beneath a wide red‑tiled hipped roof. The façade is finished with ornate wrought‑iron parapet grilles in repeating patterns, a broad stone terrace with white canvas awnings and a small garden pavilion to one end. The wing sits on the Schlossberg above formal terraces, espalier fruit walls and an orchard/park that step down from the building.
