The Pharaoh's house, which takes its name from its triangular outline, is a pyramid-shaped terraced residential building consisting of three right angled wings containing over 400 flats.

In use and in good condition. Although the quality of life in the flats, most of which have large balconies and terraces, is very good, the residential complex, which was a major drug trafficking centre in the 1990s, still does not have a very good reputation in Munich.
