The Munich Residenz in Altstadt-Lehel served as the seat of Bavarian dukes, electors, and kings from 1508 to 1918. It blends architectural styles from Renaissance to Classicism, showcasing the mastery of architects like Friedrich Sustris and Leo von Klenze. The Feast-hall-wing and King's building are striking features of Germany's largest city palace.
