Welcome to the online bookshop of the Bavarian Palace Department

We hope you will enjoy browsing among our virtual bookshelves and of course reading up on our palaces before or after a visit.

With 45 palaces, castles and residences, the Bavarian Department of State-owned Palaces, Gardens and Lakes is the largest state museum operator in Germany.

To provide you with more information about the Bavarian palaces and gardens, especially those that are not so well known, we have put together a collection of publications for you. In addition to our established cultural guides in several languages, you will find building documentation, exhibition and inventory catalogues, picture books and posters.
