Asamkirche

The Asamkirche in Munich, officially known as St. Johann Nepomuk, is an absolute masterpiece of late Baroque and Rococo architecture, and a truly awe-inspiring experience for anyone who steps inside. Built by the Asam brothers (Egim Quirin Asam and Cosmas Damian Asam) as their private church and residence, it's a testament to their artistic genius and vision. ​What makes it so captivating is the sheer density and exuberance of its decoration. Every inch is adorned with frescoes, stucco, sculpture, and gilding, creating a stunning visual symphony. The way the light filters in, illuminating the intricate details, is breathtaking. You'll find yourself constantly discovering new elements and perspectives. One minor point for some might be that the intensity of the decoration could feel overwhelming if you prefer more minimalist aesthetics, but for lovers of Baroque art, it's a dream come true. It's also often quite crowded, given its popularity, so be prepared for that. Overall, the Asamkirche is more than just a church; it's a complete work of art and a truly unforgettable highlight of any visit to Munich. It's a powerful expression of faith and artistic passion, and I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself.

We visited this church in February 2025 with my friend. We had the chance to go inside and even sit for a few minutes to take a closer look. The church was smaller than I expected, but the craftsmanship was incredible, the architecture had so many details that you could notice something new at every glance. It was truly impressive. I highly recommend visiting it in person if you get the chance. It’s also conveniently located and easy to find.

I purchased tickets for a Spanish guitar and Bach concert at Asamkirche for our group in advanced, and it was an incredible experience. The acoustics were amazing, and we truly enjoyed both the music and the beauty of the church. The interior is stunning with incredible details; definitely a must-see in Munich. I only wish they had dimmed the lights a bit during the concert to create a more concert-like atmosphere.

What a absolutely stunning church.. Free entry... And my goodness it is mind-blowing. You can't help but be amazed by it beauty...

As a tourists accessing the church outside of mass time, you can see the building inside through a fence. The place could be quite cramped and there was a line or tourists waiting for the people inside to get out so they can get inside. The entrance itself is free, though. What made me a bit happy was a paper with a list of mass times - there were some in Slovak and Ukrainian languages. I didn't expect that in the middle of a German city.

A beautiful church full of architecture and paintings. Every corner is filled with works of art. What I learned more is that it was built by two brothers for their private needs and later opened to the public. A small church with indescribable beauty, very beautiful

Breathtaking Concert in a Baroque Masterpiece This church is a feast for the eyes, a true Baroque masterpiece. The interior is absolutely stunning, with intricate marble work, countless detailed statues, and gold leafing that seems to cover every surface. It's a truly "over the top" but incredibly artistic space. We attended the 60-minute concert featuring a Spanish guitar and the church organ, and it was a magical experience. The acoustics are phenomenal, and the combination of the two instruments was beautifully done. It's clear that the award-winning musicians are masters of their craft. The concert is held twice a week, and it’s a must-see. So glad we didn't miss this—it was the perfect way to appreciate the church's beauty in a new and unforgettable way.

Gorgeous, smaller town Roman Catholic Baroque Church oen to the public. Sumptuous display of devoted reverance during the Baroque era. The realistic paintings and sculptures are modified, so the view from below seems real. Everywhere is embellished with reminders of messages of how to get to heaven and what heaven looks like. Breathtaking. I loved the photo of the crypt in the front. There are crystals below. Worth your while.in sacred space
