Our first stop in Munich: The Residence and Treasury
Our first tourist stop in Munich was the München Rezidenz (Residence) and Schatzkammer (Treasury). The most common word in our vocabulary seemed to be "wow". *grin*The Residence served as the seat of government and residence of the Bavarian dukes, electors and kings from 1508 to 1918.
The Treasury houses a collection of jewelry, royal regalia, and many other priceless objects, that were collected by the various rulers of Bavaria. The statue of Saint George, killing the dragon, that you can see here, was just incredible.
You can see some samples of the priceless works of art in the Treasury here.
