Information
Carriage Museum
The coach-house known as the "Rich Remise" which was built by the Bavarian elector Maximilian I (reigned 1597-1651) on the east side of his town residence, was used for the Wittelsbachs’ carriages and harness for centuries. In 1923 this substantial collection, by then the property of the "Wittelsbacher Ausgleichsfonds" (Wittelsbach Compensation Fund) was first exhibited in the former court riding school on Marstallplatz. At the beginning of the Second World War, it was decided that the museum should be transferred to the former stables in the Cavaliers’ Building of Nymphenburg Palace. The actual move did not take place until 1941, three years before the riding school was almost completely destroyed in an air raid. In 1952 the Marstallmuseum was opened in Nymphenburg.
The Marstallmuseum’s collection of carriages and sleighs from the 18th and 19th centuries is one of the most important of its kind in Europe
