<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After visiting the BMW Museum, I went to the Nymphenburg Palace. &nbsp;I didn&#8217;t pick a very good day to do this, since walking around 40° weather is not fun. This castle was the main summer residence of the rulers of Bavaria back in the day. Despite having seen many castles and palaces in my travels in Europe, this one was quite unique.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The main atrium of the castle was probably the most impressive room.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/117972094293741244551/SchlossNymphenburg#5897598638679003890" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ROo2D71DUNA/Udh6tw5KEvI/AAAAAAAAOBc/wTVOozkWyC8/s640/IMG_9438.JPG?w=1280&#038;ssl=1" alt=""/></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Apparently <a class="zem_slink" title="Ludwig II of Bavaria" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_II_of_Bavaria" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia noopener noreferrer">King Ludwig II</a> was born here.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/117972094293741244551/SchlossNymphenburg#5897598791138358226" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/lh6.googleusercontent.com/-AGMJ9HVM08M/Udh62o2TM9I/AAAAAAAAOB0/cG5P72td1GY/s640/IMG_9441.JPG?w=1280&#038;ssl=1" alt=""/></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For some reason, this castle had a Chinese themed room. I&#8217;m not sure why.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/117972094293741244551/SchlossNymphenburg#5897598847438077378" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BcHQqglN63g/Udh656lMvcI/AAAAAAAAOB8/MZbfqHRffKo/s640/IMG_9442.JPG?w=1280&#038;ssl=1" alt=""/></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also a room with paintings of various women that were seen as beautiful.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/117972094293741244551/SchlossNymphenburg#5897599007138171122" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KNmiEl2LeUw/Udh7DNgqyPI/AAAAAAAAOCc/AkTIN6jXQEo/s512/IMG_9446.JPG?w=1280&#038;ssl=1" alt=""/></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s also an artifact or prize that the Bavarian Empire obtained due to their assistance to the French Empire during Napoleon&#8217;s battle against the <a class="zem_slink" title="War of the Third Coalition" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Third_Coalition" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia noopener noreferrer">Third Coalition</a> in Austerlitz (Part of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Napoleonic Wars" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Wars" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia noopener noreferrer">Napoleonic Wars</a>). It&#8217;s nice to see a piece of history like that. It&#8217;s more interesting to me than seeing the palace itself.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/117972094293741244551/SchlossNymphenburg#5897599035377755218" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/lh4.googleusercontent.com/-YNYH8FwgLJs/Udh7E2tgpFI/AAAAAAAAOCk/zYuGGNe5bWg/s640/IMG_9447.JPG?w=1280&#038;ssl=1" alt=""/></a></figure>
</div>


<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don&#8217;t ever recall seeing stuff like this in other castles like Versailles and Neuschwanstein or if I did, it definitely didn&#8217;t stick that well in my head. The architecture of this castle was definitely not the greatest, but what I saw inside was quite different from what I had initially expected.</p>
