Fürstenried Palace was formerly a hunting lodge in Munich and was built between 1715 and 1717. Since 1925, it has been used as a retreat house for the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising. The palace complex is Baroque in style and also boasts a beautiful palace garden.

The small castle has an eventful history, which can be explored in the castle museum. Admission is very affordable.

Be sure to visit the castle while you're there and the gates are open. In addition to the archaeological museum, the castle also offers a free tour of the preserved buildings (thanks to the Free State) and a replica of a historic blacksmith's shop (thanks to energetic, selfless citizens).

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.

Always nice to look at.

Grünwald Castle is one of the few real medieval castles still preserved around Munich. The castle was once significantly larger, but was then damaged by a landslide on the high bank of the Isar. The castle gained notoriety as the starting point of the Counter-Reformation because the Bavarian rulers, who had previously acted cautiously, met there and decided that Bavaria should remain Catholic despite the church's completely damaged reputation.
