Schloss Nymphenburg (German), i.e. Nymphenburg Palace, is a Baroque palace situated in Munich's western district Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, in Bavaria, southern Germany. It served as the main summer residence for the former rulers of Bavaria of the House of Wittelsbach. Combined with the adjacent Nymphenburg Palace Park it constitutes one of the premier royal palaces of Europe.
There is a channel to the front of the Palace, connecting it to Munich city center in ancient time. The primary builder of the palace was Maximilian Emanuel, the heir to Bavaria, a sovereign electorate of the Holy Roman Empire.
The channel is perpendicular to the front of the palace, which connects to the large pool close to the palace. It was a bright sunny day when we got there in the morning - cloudless, windless, the water was flat as mirror, reflecting its surroundings.

In the back of the palace - there is a rectangular shaped garden with sculptures and flowers. Beyond the garden there is a channel/pool which ends at a manmade small water fall.

The inside of the palace was ordinary, just rooms with paintings, furniture, except the main hall - which looks more like a church.

Surrounding Park is more interesting - ponds, trees, flowers, water fowls, birds, and sculptures. We also encountered two deer. The other interesting observation is that there are quite a few Chinese themed decorations in the palace and some castles.
