| Schloß Schleißheim
|
Schloß Schleißheim was built in the early 1700's and is located just north of Munich. It was intended to resemble Versailles and was to be a monumental complex consisting of four wings, but only this main wing was completed.
The interior of this schloß is my favorite of the castles we have seen so far.

| The Vestibule |
 |
| The Grand Staircase - and it is indeed grand! |
The beautiful room below is accessed from the Grand Staircase and is now used as a concert hall - how nice that it is used rather than just being a museum piece.

| The Large Hall |

| The ceiling of the Large Hall |
 |
The Hall of Portraits with five recently restored
chandeliers, each containing 2400 pieces of glass. |
Royal apartments are all designed similarly in a "row" fashion with the anti-chamber, followed by the audience chamber, then the bedroom, then one or two private rooms.
 |
This is looking from the
private rooms back through to
the anti-chamber, the first
public room. |

The Queen's Bedroom

The Rear Gardens --
completely restored a couple of years ago |
