China in Munich

The Chinese Tower,

also known as China Tower and at the beginning as Great Pagoda, is a 25 meter high timber in the style of a pagoda, which is located in Munich in the English Garden.

 

The building was built in between 1789 and 1790 and made available in 1792 with the opening of the English Garden as a viewing public.

 

In one of the air raids on Munich during the Second World War the Chinese tower burned down, but was reopened in 1952 after reconstruction.

 

The tower is now considered a landmark of the English Garden.
