Schloss Lustheim

Description:

• In 1684 Prince Max Emmanuel II commissioned Zuccalli to build Schloss Lustheim opposite the old Schleißheim Castle. Zuccalli's construction combined a hunting lodge, residential rooms and fanciful leisure facilities, and was without rival at the time. This fine example of a late baroque stately home now houses an exhibition of Ernst Schneider's porcelain collection, which provides a good overview of the whole range of Meißen porcelain. The garden is a further attraction; it was also planned by Zuccalli and is one of the few remaining baroque gardens in Germany.
