Palais Gise
Palais Gise stands on Prannerstraße in Munich’s Old Town as a late Rococo city palace. Known also as Palais Arco, it presents its best-preserved features towards the street. The two-storey lower section supports a main floor with six round-arched windows. Pilasters frame the decorated central window, giving the façade its characteristic Rococo composition and careful symmetry.
Karl Albert von Lespilliez likely designed the palace, having studied under François de Cuvilliés. The Counts of Taufkirchen originally owned the property. Friedrich August Freiherr von Gise acquired it in 1837 for 30,000 guilders, and his family retained it until the early twentieth century. Parts of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising now occupy the building. World War Two caused significant damage, but the original stucco work survived across the ornate façade.
