Palais Lerchenfeld stands in München (München), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 18th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Palais Lerchenfeld stands in Munich's old town, on Damenstiftstraße. Built around 1730 by Ignaz Anton Gunetzrhainer for an administrator working for the counts of Törring, it acquired its present name only later, with no confirmed link to the von Lerchenfeld family. Its rococo facade, with stucco work attributed to Johann Baptist Zimmermann, survived the destruction of 1944 and remains the building's notable feature; the premises today house Munich's municipal cemetery and funeral services.

What to know

  • The building currently houses Munich's municipal cemetery and funeral administration, so it is not open to the public as a sightseeing monument.
  • Only the 18th-century rococo facade survives in its original form, the interior was rebuilt after 1944.
  • The palais sits in the central Altstadt-Lehel district, within easy walking distance of Munich's city centre.
  • There are no visiting hours or admission fees, as this is an administrative building.
