Prinz-Carl-Palais
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prinz Carl Palais in Munich is a mansion built in the style of early Neoclassicism in 1804-1806.
The Prinz-Carl-Palais was planned in 1803 by the young architect Karl von Fischer for Abbé Pierre de Salabert, a former teacher of King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria. Since 1825 it belonged to Maximilian's son Prince Carl. He ordered Jean-Baptiste Métevier and Anton Schwanthaler to decorate the rooms. After Carl's death the Palais served as Diplomatic mission for Austria-Hungary from 1876 onwards before it has become a residence for the Bavarian Prime Ministers in 1924.
