This building with the Florentine loggia is the former palais urbain built for Ignaz Graf von Törring-Jettenbach and also a former post office.
Originally built 1747 to 1754 in Rococo style for the above mentioned count Törring-Jettenbach, it was modified many times.
1835 to 1838 the Florentine loggia was added while at about the same time the building was made the main post office.
Mostly destroyed in World War II, the interior was not reconstructed. After the post office moved out in 2009 all not listed parts of the building were demolished, only the loggia with its arcades remained. Now there is upscale shopping and a café.

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...

Revisited. The subway station "Westfriedhof" (Western Cemetery) on the border between the districts of Moosach and Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, along lines U1/U7.
Pretty popular photo location for obvious reasons...
The blue walls (remainders of the slurry wall that was used during construction) and the 11 huge lamps of 3.80 m diameter each give a very special atmosphere. The lamps do have yellow, red and blue lights, so each section has a slightly different atmosphere.

This is the Landständehaus (aka Landschaftshaus), which served as the meeting venue for the Landstände, an ancient kind of parliament. The colorful facade dates to 1599 and shows important personalities from the House of Wittelsbach.
After the dissolution of the Landstände in the early 19th century the building was used as a post office - hence the name "Alte Post".

The Kaiserkapelle is a prime example of romanesque architecture and also one of the most complete such structures. Built in the 13th century, part of Nuremberg Castle.
The chapel is a so-called "double chapel". This is the upper level, reserved for the emperor. The hole right in front connects this level to the lower level, for "ordinary" people, so they could enjoy mass together with the emperor.
Consequently the upper level is only accessible from the inside of the castle's palace, while the lower level only has an entrance from the outside of the palace.

Interior of the Salvatorkirche (Church of the Savior), a Greek Orthodox church with a slightly convoluted history:
Built in late Gothic style in 1493 as a cemetery church for the relocated cemetery of the Frauenkirche.
With the secularization in 1803 it should be destroyed, but it was used as important storage, so destruction was avoided.
In 1806 it was gifted to the Lutheran community in Munich, but due to continued usage as depot the Lutheran community could not use it. With the decision to build the Lutheran St. Matthäus church in 1825 the Lutherans returned St. Salvator to the crown.
In 1828 King Ludwig I of Bavaria gave it to the Greek Orthodox community for use, but the church building remained property of the state.
After this it remained Greek Orthodox and was renovated multiple times, most recently some interior refurbishing happened in 2022.
