Guided Story

Imagine being a guest at a royal court in the 18th century. The Amalienburg before you was a gift from Elector Karl Albrecht to his wife, Maria Amalia. A token of love in the form of a pleasure palace. Look up at the intricate stucco work, telling tales of hunting escapades and courtly celebrations. Behind you, just a short stroll away, is the Hirschgartenbrunnhaus, once used to power the grand water fountains. Close your eyes, and you might hear the clinking of glasses and the whispers of nobles as they strolled through the mirrored halls. The Amalienburg is not just a building; it's a journey back to a world of splendor and romance.
