Momentlarge display board with text and images in German and English. The title of the display is "Neun Klausen und ein Herrenhaus: Eremitage und Landgut" (Nine retreats and a mansion: Hermitage and country estate). The display details the establishment of a hermitage and estate by Duke Wilhelm V of Bavaria in Schleißheim. The central image on the display is a portrait of Duke Wilhelm V. To the right of the portrait, there is an illustration of the hermitage buildings with a central house and surrounding structures, described as "Die St. Franziskus-Klausen an der Stelle des heutigen Schlosses Lustheim" (The St. Francis Hermitage on the site of the present Lustheim Palace). Below this, there is a sketch of a small chapel. The text describes how Duke Wilhelm V acquired the estate in 1598 and built a hermitage with nine retreats and chapels by 1600. The display also mentions that he added a modest mansion which became his home and was later expanded into Lustheim Palace. The hermitage included a clock tower, the most important of the chapels, and was built as a religious retreat, not just a secular entertainment function. The text notes that the Duke died in Schleißheim in 1626. Further down the display, there is a quote in German by Thomas Greill, dated 1620, about a place in Schleißheim. Images also depict what appear to be religious vestments and a painting of the Madonna and Child. The environment appears to be an indoor exhibition space, possibly in a museum or historical site.
