Palais Neuhaus-Preysing
Palais Neuhaus-Preysing stands in the heart of Munich’s old town as a rococo palace built in 1737. Philipp Jakob Köglsperger designed it under the guidance of François de Cuvilliés the Elder, replacing a 1703 building commissioned by the von Neuhaus family.
Nine façade axes create a strict rhythm around the central projection, where a balcony on the main floor sits beneath a triangular pediment and coat of arms. Cornices separate the ground floor, mezzanine and two upper floors, while intricate stucco gives the exterior its detailed character. Ferdinand Maria Franz Freiherr von Neuhaus used the palace as his second city residence before ownership changed several times.
Bombing during the Second World War caused heavy damage, and Erwin Schleich led restoration work that began in 1952. The original façade remains, while later work connected the palace with the Fünf Höfe project and Rosewood Munich. Look for the balcony, the nine axes and the pediment that still define its street-facing composition.
