The Amalienburg is a small hunting lodge in the Nymphenburg Palace of Munich, southern Germany. It was constructed in 1734-1739 by François de Cuvilliés, in Rococo style, for the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII and his wife, Maria Amalia of Austria.
Architecture
Most of the ground plan of the interior layout is given over to the round Hall of Mirrors in the center of the building which was designed by Johann Baptist Zimmermann and Joachim Dietrich (1690–1753). It creates an ethereal atmosphere in the Bavarian national colors of silver and blue.
Other rooms include the Blue Cabinet (the bedroom of the Electress) and the tiny palace also accommodates a kennel room for the hunting dogs. The kitchen is decorated with precious tiles from Delft which when put up, were mixed up when they were being laid by workers who thought they had the right order. The Castrol stove (1735) constructed for the kitchen is a masonry construction with several fireholes covered by perforated iron plates. It is also known as a stew stove and the first design that completely enclosed the fire.
