Lonely Planet review for Alter Hof

The central courtyard of the Alter Hof is the oldest Wittelsbach residence with origins in the 12th century and 1282 birthplace of Holy Roman Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian. The bay window on the southern façade was nicknamed 'Monkey Tower' in honour of a monkey which saved the infant ruler from the clutches of a ferocious market pig. Local lore at its finest.
