The Residenz, meaning “residence” in German, served as the official residence of the Bavarian monarchs of the Wittelsbach dynasty from 1508 until 1918. Originally a moated castle, it underwent numerous expansions and renovations over centuries, reflecting evolving architectural styles – from Renaissance and Baroque to Rococo and Neoclassical. The complex comprises ten courtyards and features richly decorated state rooms, including the Antiquarium, a renowned Renaissance hall.

Today, the Residenz is a historical museum open to the public. Its Herkulessaal (Hercules Hall) is frequently used as a concert venue due to its exceptional acoustics and grand atmosphere. The hall’s design incorporates elements of Baroque splendor, providing a historically significant setting for musical performances.
