This sprawling, gracious palace right in Munich located on a 500-acre tract was almost overshadowed by the riotous lilac blooms that actually made the air heavily sweet. I had never seen four different shades on one bush before (including white!)
Schloss Nymphenburg was commissioned by King Ferdinand for his beloved wife, Henriette, when she bore him a son in 1664. Unfortunately, she died at a young age and never did see the palace completed. he died one year later of a broken heart. Their progeny, however, were able to enjoy it for quite some time as a summer home.
