To make a day of it
Schloss Suresnes stands in München (München), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 18th century. No visits are on record for this building.
The Schloss Suresnes is a small castle erected between 1715 and 1718 in Munich's Schwabing district, modelled on the Château de Suresnes near Paris, where its patron Franz von Wilhelm had stayed in exile with Elector Max Emanuel. The two storey building, with a nine bay facade around a projecting central section, stands in a park of roughly one hectare that includes a French style garden. Its long succession of owners and notable residents, from the painter Paul Klee to the revolutionary writer Ernst Toller, ties the house to Munich's early twentieth century artistic and intellectual life.
