Memento mori

The Magdalenenklause

is a habitable artificial ruin in a secluded part of the forest north of the Boskette near the castle in the Nymphenburg Palace Park in Munich.

 

It was built from 1725 by Joseph Effner on behalf of Max Emanuel.

 

The building, which is in the tradition of the Memento mori, is considered to be one of the first architectural ruins in European garden art.

 

The interiors are designed as grottos.
