Schleißheim Palaces
Today we visited the Schleißheim Palaces - they are in a suburb of Munich, so accessible via the S-Bahn (light rail service, like the O-Train in Ottawa). Unlike our previous excursions to palaces, we were allowed to take photos of the interiors of the buildings, so we have quite a few photos to share.
There are three palaces at Schleißheim - the Old Palace, the New Palace, and the Lustheim Palace (which was originally built as a hunting lodge). The Old Palace was unfortunately destroyed during the Second World War, but was rebuilt/reconstructured in 1972. The New Palace, including a Baroque court garden, was completed in 1719. Four wings were originally planned, however, one one wing, the main wing, was ever built.
You can learn more about the Schleißheim Palaces at the following sites:

You can also get there via bike ride and there is a nice Biergarten just opposite to the Schloss !
(you knew I'd be adding new things to see and do, didn't you ? ;-))
