The origin of the Schleissheim castles was a Schwaige with a small chapel acquired by Duke Wilhelm V of the Freising cathedral chapter in 1597. Between 1598 and 1600, the duke had various farm buildings, a simple manor house and nine chapels built in the neighboring woods for the hermits who lived there, including St. Jakobus in Hochmutting, around three kilometers south of the palace complex. The New Schleißheim Palace was built on behalf of Elector Max Emanuel (ruled 1679–1726). At the turn of the 18th century, the Bavarian duke was able to raise his hopes of becoming emperor and tried to underline his status with a residence building based on the French model. It is open to visitors today and can be visited. https://www.schloesser-schleissheim.de/
