The palace, in mature Neo-Classical style, was built by Herigoyen for Count Maximilian Joseph von Montgelas, who is regarded as the creator of modern Bavaria (having preserved the independence of Bavaria between the two great powers, Austria and France, and established a central administration). In 1971-72 the palace was almost completely rebuilt and taken over by the Bayerischer Hof Hotel. Some rooms have survived in their original form.

Gunetzrhainer-Haus, on the south side of the square, was built in 1730 for his own use by the then Court Architect.
