The Asam Church, dedicated to St. Johannes Nepomuk, stands out among Munich's churches for its religious and artistic significance. Built by the Asam brothers between 1733 and 1746 as a private chapel, it is a remarkable Baroque masterpiece. Initially intended for personal devotion, it became a public confessional church due to public demand. Despite surviving WWII bombings mostly unscathed, the choir required restoration, completed between 1975 and 1983, restoring its original splendor. Today, its baroque facade, often overlooked, blends seamlessly into Sendlinger Straße.

Available for hire
An American in Paris... Milan, Lisbon, Athens, London...
I grew up between the Southwest and the Gulf Coast, but feel most at home in a bustling European city, typically with one of my trusty canvas totes by my side!
I am a firm believer that anyone can travel well, regardless of budget, and I want everyone to understand that there’s more out there than just the popular spots you see on instagram. I yearn to connect with the locals wherever I travel, leading to authentic (and sometimes unexpected) adventures. I consider myself an off-the-beaten-path type of traveler, avoiding crowded areas and seasons, searching for hidden gems wherever I find myself in the world. I take pride in carefully curating trips for the traveler I am booking for, making for an extremely unique and memorable trip!
