THIS IS AN EXTRACT FROM THE SITE:

The former summer residence of the rulers of Bavaria is located in the west part of the city in the middle of one of Munich's most beautiful parks. Five generations of Wittelsbach rulers were involved in the construction of this Baroque castle.
The building of Nymphenburg Castle began in the reign of the Elector Ferdinand Maria: overjoyed by the birth of his son and heir, Max Emanuel, he had the central section built for his wife in the style of an Italian villa (Agostino Barelli, 1664-74). In about 1700, Max Emanuel commissioned Enrico Zuccali and Antonio Viscardi to extend the castle by adding galleries and pavilions

Q18 Ok I've been through my classics reference books and no mention of anything specific. As far as I can tell he professed to being descended from Zeus, Perseus and Heracles. He also seems to have had a bit of a thing for Achilles so hopefully it's one of these.
