Munich - Max's Castle Maxburg

|
Towards the end of the 16th C. Heinrich Schön the Elder built a stronghold for Duke William V, the Wilhelminische Veste, on a site in Munich previously occupied by 54 burghers' houses. His successor, Duke (later the Elector) Maximilian Philipp, made this his residence, and it became known as the Maxburg (Max's Castle). Of the original structure only the tower on the north front survives.
