What people say

"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. Admission: free entry"
"After lunch, it's time to check out some architecture! I have been to a lot of beautiful churches in my day, but this small, unassuming building is one of the most breathtaking on the inside. It's hard not to feel awestruck when you look up toward the artfully painted ceiling, angelic statues, and overwhelming sea of gold. Even unskilled photographers can capture a dazzling image of this baroque-style church. Definitely check it out."
"the Asamkirche, officially known as St. Johann Nepomuk Church, is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. This small yet intricately adorned church was built by the Asam brothers, sculptor Egid Quirin Asam and painter Cosmas Damian Asam, in the 18th century. Entrance is FREE"
