Asam Church

Asam Church (Asamkirche), tucked on Sendlinger Straße in Munich’s Old Town, is a compact Baroque jewel built by the Asam brothers in the 1730s as their private chapel. Its richly layered interior—stucco, gilding, dramatic frescoes, and a theatrical altar—showcases South German Late Baroque at its most intense. Despite its small size, the church offers a striking contrast to Munich’s larger monuments and rewards close, quiet looking. Free to enter, it’s ideal for art and architecture enthusiasts or anyone seeking a short, memorable stop near Sendlinger Tor. Note: space is tight and lighting dim.
