Schloß Suresnes

Suresnes Palace, also known as the Werneckschlößl, is a protected historic monument in Munich's Schwabing district. The complex was built between 1715 and 1718, probably modeled on a Parisian château, for the cabinet secretary Franz von Wilhelm. The two-story building, with a nine-bay front facade and a three-story central section, stands out for the rotunda projecting from the garden side, whose top serves as a terrace. The little palace sits in a park of roughly one hectare (about 2.5 acres), complemented by a French garden at the rear. Historically, the site has been the setting for a variety of events, from the youth of Mathilde von Jordan to serving as a hiding place for the writer Ernst Toller during the Munich Soviet Republic. Today the building serves as the conference center of the Catholic Academy in Bavaria and was for a time the residence of the Archbishop of Munich and Freising. You can enjoy the peaceful parkland and the historic architecture on Werneckstraße.
