Guided Story
Look up at the grand facade before you. Imagine Duke Ludwig X walking through these halls in the 16th century, impressing his guests with the splendor. Just behind you, a short distance away, is the Stadtresidenz museum, a treasure trove of history. These grand rooms were not just a residence but also a political hub. Picture the nobles in their finest garments gathering here to discuss the affairs of the duchy. To your left, the Röcklturm stands in the distance, another witness to this city's rich past. And if you wander a bit further, you'll reach the Basilica of St. Martin, with its tower dominating the skyline. The Stadtresidenz is more than just a building; it's a window into a bygone era still brimming with life.
