Fortress Grünwald
The fortress Grünwald is probably a hidden gem of Munich. It is located in the most expensive and luxurious district of Munich and surrounded by mansions and villas of footballs stars, millionaires, CEOs of several major German corporations and old aristocracy with some money :-)
The fortress got its current shape in 15th century. It was used as a country residence of Bavarian dukes, later as hunting lodge, powder magazine and VIP state prison (apparently not a very harsh one, though - all the prisoners either escaped or got their freedom back quite soon) Now the fortress belongs to the Free State of Bavaria and can be visited daily from 9 till 4 p.m.

The bridge below connects Grünwald with Pullach, the richest community in Germany :-)
