Lustheim Palace is a 17th-century garden palace and hunting cabin designed by famous Swiss architect Enrico Zuccalli. Based on the popular Italian casinos of the time, it has an aesthetic that is opulent and majestic. Visit Lustheim Palace on a sunny day and enjoy the views of the building from the picturesque grounds of groomed shrubs.
Admire the yellow façade, with its regal touches and white patterns. The main body of the palace is spread across two floors, with the central section rising a story higher and providing stunning views of the surrounding countryside and former hunting grounds.
Explore the apartments and examine the ceiling murals that celebrate a mythological goddess of hunting. The 17th-century artists Johann Anton Gumpp, Francesco Rosa and Giovanni Trubillio crafted these majestic works of art.
Browse the intriguing exhibits of the palace’s Collection of Meissen Porcelain and study the pieces crafted by a company dating back to the early 1700s. Among the highlights is the Snowball Vase with Birds from 1741.
In the grounds behind the palace, stroll beside the various fountain jets that complement the colorful floral arrangements. Two elegant arched pavilions form a partial ring around the edge of the garden and meet at a pond in the middle.
Purchase combination tickets to see the Lustheim Palace along with the neighboring New Schleißheim Palace and the Old Schleißheim Palace. The three sites open daily from morning to late afternoon and are closed on Mondays.
Lustheim Palace is the easternmost of the three sites that make up the Schleißheim Palace Complex in central Oberschleißheim. Travel by train to the town’s railway station and walk southeast for 1.2 miles (1.9 kilometers) to get here in a little less than 30 minutes. Buses also serve the complex.
While here, make sure to see other nearby sights such as the Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleißheim, Berglwald Park and Panzerwiese und Hartelholz Park.
