St. Emmeram's Palace

Why go

This record is the palace complex, whose museum areas the family's museums open to visitors: the state rooms, the medieval cloister of the former abbey, the former stables (Marstall) and the treasury; the Basilica of St. Emmeram, which the operator names separately, is not this record. The operator's pages (in German) say the house received the secularised abbey in 1812 as part of the Kingdom of Bavaria's compensation for the nationalisation of the Thurn und Taxis post, that about a hundred years of conversion and new building followed, and that the oldest surviving part of the abbey wing dates from the early 12th century. Its visit page says the state rooms and the cloister can be seen only on a guided tour, asks visitors to book tour tickets in its online ticket shop, says tours are in German with English audioguides at the museum desk, and says the stables and treasury can be visited without a tour during opening hours.
