Contribute to the preservation of our cultural heritage!

 

The Bavarian palaces, castles, residences, artists’ houses and gardens are the jewels of our state. Help us preserve Bavaria’s cultural heritage!

The maintenance of historical sites is extraordinarily complex and expensive. The entrance fees cover only a fraction of the maintenance costs, which are borne by the Free State of Bavaria. Your donation will help to save historical buildings, unique works of art and magnificent parks for future generations. Every contribution is valuable and particularly welcome!

Donations can be made online by debit, credit card or instant bank transfer. Simply use our

Donation receipt
In Germany you don’t need a special receipt for donations under 200 euros; German tax offices accept a copy of your bank transfer form instead. For donations of 200 euros and over you will automatically receive a written donation certificate.

With your donation you will be supporting current restoration and maintenance projects of the Bavarian Palace Department.

We would like to ask you specifically for help with the following current project:

Restoration of the gateway and arcades of the Court Garden at the Munich Residenz

 

 

The Munich Court Garden is one of the most delightful and best loved places to visit in the city centre. Its entrance archway, designed by Leo von Klenze, and the arcaded walkways with their frescos are among the true treasures of Bavaria's capital.

Sadly this ensemble has suffered greatly over recent decades and it is in need of extensive restoration. The Bavarian Palace Department has therefore launched an initiative to fund the important work of restoring the Court Garden ensemble as quickly as possible.

In the first stage, starting next year, the Bavarian Palace Department is aiming to restore the outer surfaces and the roofs of the gateway of the Court Garden and the western part of the arcades between the Theatiner rooms of the Residenz and the Annast Building. The next stage, immediately following on from this, would be to restore the inner surfaces of the arches in the arcade, in particular the precious fresco decoration, and to optimise the lighting as well improve the flooring – provided the funding for this can be secured.

Help us – with your donation – to preserve the fresco decoration in the Court Garden arcades. The Bavarian Palace Department is grateful for every donation to this important restoration project.
