Palais Neuhaus-Preysing

The Palais Neuhaus-Preysing stands on Prannerstrasse in Munich's Old Town and is one of the few original Rococo noble façades in the city that has survived. It was designed by François de Cuvilliés and built in 1737 by Philipp Jakob Köglsperger. The nine-bay façade is divided by cornices, while the central projecting bay, with its balcony and a triangular pediment crowned by a coat of arms, emphasizes the piano nobile. The building originally served as the city residence of the Neuhaus family before the Bavarian State Bank acquired it in 1898. After being destroyed in World War II, it was rebuilt in the 1950s, though the interiors were altered. The palais was restored as part of the renovation for the Fünf Höfe concept. Since October 2023, the building, together with the adjoining former bank building, has housed the five-star Rosewood Munich hotel, whose main entrance is on Kardinal-Faulhaber-Strasse.
