St. Emmeram castle museum

A thousand years of tradition

The palace's museum sections, including the cloister, stables, and treasury, provide a thorough depiction of over five centuries worth of history from the House of Thurn and Taxis. Additionally, they showcase 1000 years of monastic tradition as well as the lifestyle embraced by one of Germany's most significant noble families. Immerse yourself in the medieval ambiance within the cloister or revel in the opulent rococo grandeur found throughout the palace.

Ever since 1812, the illustrious Thurn und Taxis family has held ownership of the prestigious St. Emmeram imperial and Benedictine monastery. Throughout the 19th century, this architectural marvel underwent extensive expansions and renovations to transform into a majestic princely abode boasting numerous chambers. Today, Schloss St. Emmeram stands as an eminent testament to opulence, proudly ranking among Europe's grandest private fortresses.
