The Residenz

On the last day of our trip to Munich, we saw the Residenz where the kings of Bavaria used to live. Parts of the building date back to the late 1300s! Unfortunately, part of it was also destroyed in the War. It was quite a grand place. Unfortunately, we didn't really get to see the whole thing or the jewel area because it closes early in the winter. What we did get to see was magnificent.

One of the rooms was an antiquities room. In it there was a burial crown from John the Baptist! There were other important artifacts as well, mostly of religious significance.
