Bayerische Schlösserverwaltung is the Bavarian state administration for palaces, castles, gardens and lakes. It runs the Residenz München museum, where tickets are sold at the museum box office and at the Cuvilliés-Theater. Services include guided themed tours for adults and children and special exhibitions, such as a presentation of Elector Max Emanuel's treasures in the Schatzkammer.

The administration cares for 45 palaces, castles and residences, 32 historic garden complexes and 21 lakes across Bavaria, along with churches and monuments such as the Befreiungshalle in Kelheim. It describes itself as one of the largest state museum operators in Germany. Its main administration in Munich handles property, personnel, legal and budget matters and plans publications and advertising for all sites.

The administration traces its origins to the court administration of the Bavarian electors and kings. It organises events such as the Residenzwoche in Munich and hosts an academic conference at the Residenz München on 12 and 13 November 2026.
