History of the Badenburg: Bathing pleasure at the castle courtyard
Badenburg is located at the southeastern end of Badenburg Lake in Nymphenburg Palace Park.The structure, created by Joseph Effner between 1719 and 1721, is considered the first heated indoor swimming pool of modern times. However, it was not open to the public at the time. Only the court nobility was allowed to splash around in the water there.
Pure luxury: Elector Max Emanuel's bathtub was as large as an average two-room apartment today. In the basement, there is a basin measuring 8.70 by 6.10 meters. It is so deep that one could even swim in it.
The interior is also magnificent: Dutch tiles, stucco marble and a noble ceiling painting. Nymphs and naiads adorn the ceiling of the stucco marble-clad bathing room, which even has a gallery for guests.

Ballroom in the Badenburg
No less spectacular is the large banqueting hall on the main floor with its playful stucco work, heavy marble floor and a large vaulted fresco. In terms of splendor, the Badenburg is in no way inferior to Nymphenburg Palace.
A contemporary travel description from 1792 puts it in a nutshell: "The Badenburg, the most beautiful bath, with all the comforts that splendor can offer, was built by Elector Maximilian Emanuel. I do not recall having seen anything more ornate and better conceived anywhere."
