The Prinz-Carl-Palais in Munich is an early Neoclassical mansion built between 1804 and 1806 by architect Karl von Fischer for Abbé Pierre de Salabert, a former tutor to King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria. Upon the Abbé's death in 1807, the king acquired the palace, and following Maximilian's own death in 1825, his son Ludwig I transferred it to his brother Prince Carl, who commissioned Jean-Baptiste Métevier and Anton Schwanthaler to undertake interior decoration. After Prince Carl's death, the building served as the Austrian-Hungarian diplomatic mission from 1876, then became an official residence for Bavarian Prime Ministers beginning in 1924. The palace remains an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria.
