The Magdalenenklause is a hermitage, designed as an artificial ruin, located in the Nymphenburg Palace Park.

 

The purpose of the building was to serve as a memento mori for the Elector (Kurfürst) Max Emanuel - he was supposed to visit the building and contemplate the transience of being alive and a ruler.

 

Unfortunately Max Emanuel did not live long enough to see the building completed - sic transit gloria...

 

Here's a summer view

And sorry, due to flickr's inability to properly save local language tags since late Sept. 2022 and no fix in sight (no UTF-8 support in tags, it appears only characters from the stone-age "Code Page 437" work correctly), the tags are incomplete - I had to omit some tags, because the 场 character in IAPM广场 and 上海环贸广场 causes flickr's tag parser to create gibberish in all following tags.

 

The "Nanshi Qu" assigned by flickr as location name is also wrong, a long standing issue with flickr's trashy location database.
