A tiny baroque church squeezed between shopfronts, free to enter, and the most overwhelming interior in Munich.
What it costs
Free, with a donation box. It is barely eight metres wide and you can walk in off a shopping street.
When to go
Open most days with restricted hours, closed during services. It is small enough that a coach party fills it entirely, so go early or late.
Getting there
On Sendlinger StraΓe, between Marienplatz and the Sendlinger Tor. You will walk past it if you are not looking for it.
If you only have an hour
Ten minutes inside is enough; it is one small room and the effect is immediate. Spend the rest walking Sendlinger StraΓe down to the gate, which is the old road into the city and full of small shops.
What people get wrong
It was built by the Asam brothers as their own private church, next door to their house, with their own money β which is why it is so small and so unrestrained. They were only obliged to open it to the public after local objection. Almost every surface is worked, and the effect is deliberately theatrical.
