Nestled between buildings on Sendlingerstrasse, Asam Church is a notable example of late baroque architecture in southern Germany. Despite its modest dimensions of 22 by 8 meters, the chapel is richly adorned with intricate marble work and statues. Constructed between 1733 and 1746 by the Asam brothers as their personal chapel, the church's interior design reflects their spiritual aspirations, with the brightest part symbolizing heavenly salvation and the darker pews representing earthly existence. The church's opulent fresco and stucco ceilings, detailed paintings, and gilded ornamentation showcase the extraordinary craftsmanship of the era. Easily accessible from Marienplatz, this beautifully preserved baroque church offers a profound visual and spiritual experience.
