The Italianesque building that borders the Max-Joseph-Platz to the south is the former Törring-Jettenbach Palace. The palace was originally built in the eighteenth century for count Ignaz von Törring. In 1825 the north facade facing the new Max-Joseph-Platz was remodeled by Leo von Klenze, who created a Florentine style loggia.

In 1834 the postal service purchased the palace and it reopened in 1839 as the city's main post office building.

After the German post office left the building in 2009 it was converted into a multifunctional complex known as the Palais an der Oper. As of October 17, 2012, Palais an der Oper was acquired by Lenhart Global Investments Ltd. Palais an der Oper comprises a mix use office, retail, and living property spread over an area of 32,000 square meters.
