Schleißheim: Prince Elector Max Emmanuel, who built large parts of Schloss Nymphenburg, erected another magnificent Baroque palace north of Munich. Neues Schloss Schleißheim (New Palace) was to have been his Versailles. Debt and exile ruined his plans but one of the four planned wings of monumental proportions was eventually completed in 1719.
The 335-m (1,000-foot) building has a Late Baroque and Rococo interior, which is partly the work of Johann Baptist Zimmermann and Cosmas Damian Asam. The art gallery includes a remarkable collection of European Baroque paintings, with three works by Rubens. About 50 rooms on two floors are open to the public. Admission is Euro 4–English audio guides are available. Combination ticket with Schloss Lustheim is Euro 5.
