Architecture
(Click photo for a larger image)This is a photo of the New Schleißheim Palace. Munich has several palaces throughout the city and its suburbs, and this is one of them. My humans have visited this palace (and took these photos).
There are three palaces at Schleißheim - the Old Palace, the New Palace, and the Lustheim Palace (which was originally built as a hunting lodge). The Old Palace was unfortunately destroyed during the Second World War, but was rebuilt/reconstructured in 1972. The New Palace, including a Baroque court garden, was completed in 1719. Four wings were originally planned, however, only one wing, the main wing, was ever built.
You can learn more about the Schleißheim Palaces at the following sites:

There are so many beautiful castles in Europe - we have nothing at all like that here in America which is so disappointing!
Thanks for sharing the great pics and the history!
Dear Dragonheart,
You look as if you might have some royalty in your background...I bet some of your ancestors once lived there.
Take care,
Connie
My photo is up.
What a palace!
Love to see castles. We don't have them here in my country.
Happy weekend!
Such an impressive building! I love the reflection in the water.
That is some seriously important architecture! Very impressive. I wish I could live in a castle.
That's a lovely palace. I've never been to a real palace before. We don't have castles in our country as fas as I know.
Thanks for sharing.
Castles of Europe are gorgeous. What a good choice. Thanks for the background information too.
What a gorgeous palace!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.
Great pictures! Thanks for sharing and thanks for visiting my site! I feel like I'm taking a trip today and I haven't even left my chair!
I love photos with reflections in water. Beautiful!
Beautiful photos and great choice for the theme.
There's nothing like European architecture.
This is beautiful! germany is on my short list of where I would like to go on my 10th anniversary. I have to tell you that I looked around your site a bit and the pictures dated this past Tuesday are great! My 4 year old said: What is that? She didn't believe me when I told her it was a cat:)
Now that's what I call a palace! Much nicer than the one I posted...but Europe usually has better architecture. Wonderful photo. I'm off to check out the others too. Thanks for coming by My Photo Blog.
wondrous places in Europe -- just wait until North America is 800 years old -- what architecture will survive do you think?
They are beautiful and yes it's a pitty that one was destroyed during the war.
Is Dragonhaert on strike today ?
This is just fantastic.
Thanks for the visit.
Munich is such a beautiful place, if money wasn't an issue I would definitely visit.
Great choice for the theme.

Happy Hunting
Beautiful shot with the relection in the water.
I've been to Germany and your photos show such an amazing view of castles.
Beautiful!
Wow, super beautiful.
What a palace and I love the backyard, perfect for parties :-D
Wonderful! I am going to look at the linkies that you provided now.
Happy Day Dragonheart <3
Beautiful! I always said I deserved a castle....maybe I need to move overseas!! ;)
Happy Saturday!

I would love to see it in person! I love the fountains!
Gorgeous photo! I love that you gave us a lesson on it too. It's always good to learn something new. Thanks so much for sharing the photo and the information :)
Great castles in Germany! this one is quite beautiful!
that is so beautiful! understated yet fabulous! mine's up, too! ;)
I think it is awesome that your humans share with you this wonderful surrounding. I know you will be there a while longer. Enjoy it...
Thank you for sharing a little bit more about Munich.
Wow, think of all the litterboxes you would need to make sure you could get to one in time!

Pretty pictures!! Maw has visited palaces in England and Sweden when she went there. The US doesn't have such stuff. But we have McMansions!!!!!

New Schleißheim Palace is beautiful. The reflection in the water doubles the beauty. A great addition to the Hunt this week.
I love these palaces in Europe. I haven't been to Munich yet, but we visited the one in Vienna that is so large and the gardens... an architectural wonder in themselves!!
Thanks for stopping by.
Very impressive!
Thanks for stopping by mine :)
Great photo! I've been to München but didn't see this palace. Bavaria is a special area - even though their German is totally incomprehensible...
this is so grand , and the garden is perfect!
That's a beautiful photo of a beautiful palace. Thanks for sharing it and the background information.
Wow, Dragonheart, would you take me there sometime? A real castle! We've never seen one, though my mom's friend has.
I love castles & palaces. Unfortunately as others have mentioned we don't really have any here. We do have castle wanna-be's built by wealthy industrialists like Hearst, Vanderbilt, Deering & Boldt off the top of my head. I visit those & make believe that they are real castles, until I am able to visit Europe!
Furry royal!
Castles can make you dream a bit. Stop by and take a gander at one in Scotland.
It is so interesting how the castles reflect different cultures. This is so symmetrical it is almost severe (although beautiful). I found myself imagining the rooms served by all of those chimneys!
We could really play some hide-n-seek in that house!
Germany has all the cool castles! This one reminds me of an English nobleman's estate, actually it's a safari preserve now, called Longleat. Nice photo!
Wow, a castle! How bee-yootiful. Thanks for sharing!
What wonderful photos! Thanks for sharing Dragonheart.
Dragonheart, nice choices for The Hunt and I really appreciate you history with the links. Wonderful.
Hey Dragonheart! Please contact Mimi if you'd like to participate in BlogBlast for Peace again this year. Thanks!
Lovely building. I may have been there many years ago.
Beautiful picture. Happy weekend.
Another wonderful German photo from you! And so educational too.
We just read your comment on Tara's blog. If your mom's birthday is two days after St. Patty's Day, then her birthday is the same day as our mom's - March 19! Isn't that cool! Of course, our mom is a lot older . . .
