Convertible Car Rental in Munich

What’s a Shloss?

Eric Palmer - Travel Writer and Petrol Head Luxury Car Rental Munich

No a Shloss is not a type of meaty bratwurst, a well cultivated moustache or a method of cleaning your teeth (i.e. as in a translation of the word “floss”). Quite as far as these possible meanings as you could get a Schloss is a grand German castle typically decorated in the full regal character of Baroque architectural design. Rent a convertible in Munich for a sensational tour of Munich’s many schlösser, trust me it’s far more enjoyable than a factory tour of flossing string.  

For your day out hire the Porsche 918 Spyder and in this incredible hybrid supercar convertible drive out to Schleißheim Old Palace, an elegant palace, in more recent times it has been brought under the jurisdiction of the  Bavarian National Museum and holds two collections; the Ecumenical Collection the records the religious year and its festivities and the and the Prussian Collection that is romantically titled “There once was a land”. The artwork is classic and timeless, much like the castle within which it is held.

For its fascinating history and design, the Dachau Palace is always worth going to see, located about an hour from the center of Munich, hire the BMW 6 Series convertible for the journey. The Dachau Palace is a medieval castle that was commissioned to be built by its earliest resident, the Count of Dachau. In the 16th century the original home was extended to include an enormous four winged complex under the direction of Duke Wilhelm IV and his son Duke Albrecht Vit. The wooden ceiling in the hall is magnificently decorated in renaissance art and over time has grown a legacy that has made it one of the most important in Germany.

No less fascinating is the famous Nymphenburg Palace which welcomes all its guests with its beautiful combination of gardens and decorated baroque architecture. The castles was commissioned after the birth of Max Emanuel who was destined to be heir to the throne by his father Elector Ferdinand Maria in 1664. Today the castle showcases works of art from the Baroque period to Classicism, a highlight being the "Gallery of Beauties", with portraits of King Ludwig I’s escorts.
