The Residence Palace was designed by Balthasar Neumann and built from 1720 through 1744. It is considered one of the most important palaces in all of Europe. What makes the Residence so unique is the combination of architecture and ingenious interior design. The ceiling frescoes above the grand staircase and in the impressive Imperial Hall by the Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo are world famous. Don't forget to visit the Garden Hall, the White Hall and the Mirror Cabinet. You will come away thoroughly impressed.
