Badenburg Ballroom by Tony Via Flickr: Badenburg, or the House of Baths was designed by Joseph Effners and built between 1718 to 1722. The floor plan of the main floor consists of a rectangular hall with rounded corners. In the south, there is also a rectangular tract with the bathing room and the electoral apartment (anteroom, bedroom, cabinet, cloakroom). While the ballroom occupies two storeys, above the sequence of rooms of the southern annex are small cozy rooms (destroyed in 1944). In the basement there are the pool, a room with heating, a kitchen and other rooms for the bathing. The ballroom is beautifully decorated with stucco work and a vault fresco (Jacopo Amigoni, renewed after the destruction in 1944). His pictorial program refers to the element of water, based on ancient mythology.

Apollo Reflection by Tony Via Flickr: The view across the lake in Nymphenburg Palace gardens, leading on to the Apollo Temple is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in classical Greek and Roman religion and Greek and Roman mythology. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless, athletic youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of music, truth and prophecy, healing, the sun and light, plague, poetry, and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis.
