Tips
The baroque palace Fürstenried near Munich was built between 1715 and 1719 by the builder Joseph Effner on behalf of Elector Max Emanuel as a hunting lodge. Since 1925 the palace has served the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising as a retreat house, school pastoral center and conference venue. From the castle you can see exactly the twin towers of Munich's Marienkirche via the A95 motorway, which drops out as a dead straight to the castle complex. In 2021, the complex ekes out a rather dreary existence - the house is closed, parts of the building are orphaned and show signs of need for renovation.

You can only look into the garden or the castle from outside through the beautiful grilles. Therefore, the castle, although built by Effner, only makes sense in combination with a walk through the forest cemetery or a stop at Schwaige.
