Object description:

Picture: Höchstädt Palace

The massive four-wing complex in the Renaissance style was built from 1589 to 1603 under Count Palatinate Philipp Ludwig von Pfalz-Neuburg.

The palace chapel is painted with Protestant themes, and is an extremely rare testimony of this period in Bavaria.

An exhibition illustrates the Spanish War of Succession and the Battle of Blenheim / Höchstädt in 1704, which was crucial for its outcome.

In the Museum of German Faience the permanent exhibition "Über den Tellerrand …" will open on 29 April 2010.
