- Thomas AMunich, Germany65 contributionsSmall but perfectly formed.You can't fully walk around this church at this time because there's not enough space to maintain social distancing. You can view the interior from the closed gates, and still take photos of the amazing interior. It's still worth a visit.Visited August 2020Written August 12, 2020
- lonewolf44Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom1,303 contributionsAstonishing interiorThis 18th century baroque chapel is a marvel. Although quite small, it is intricately decorated inside and the effect as you step through the door from the street is breathtaking. Built as a private chapel for the wealthy Asam family (who lived next door), it was opened to the wider public by popular demand. And rightly so: this is a real gem.Visited July 2020Written July 30, 2020

Our favorite church in Munich is not hard to find. There is an “awe” factor when you first see it. Located on Sendinger Street, it is not far from the central point of Marienplatz. Built in the mid 18th century by two brothers, it was originally a chapel and a place for young people to have confession. There are seven confessionals in this 30-foot-wide space.
Baroque architecture dominates. Egid the sculptor and Cosmas the painter spent 13 years constructing this personal chapel to impress visitors. Two homes were destroyed to fulfill their dreams. The church does blend in with the other buildings and you could actually walk by and not notice it. Today, it is open to the public except when service is going on. Well worth the time to see this marvelous “free” church in Munich.

This is one of the church which needs a bit more attention as you will witness amazing architecture once you enter in the church.

Located on a main street in Munich, this church sticks out from its surroundings because of the dazzling nature of its Baroque architecture. But the outside is not the real treat. The interior, while only 30 feet wide, is a tour de force of Baroque decoration. It is filled with expansive spaces of ornament, large decorative schemes, a false dome that looks like a real dome, marble columns that aren't made of marble, and three-dimensional sculptures that are actually paintings. Go, and have a good time marveling.

Expected the church to be more beautiful. Really just looks cluttered. The outside is currently undergoing refurbishment and is hidden behind scaffolding.

You can only walk in to foyer of this over the top church. Fun to look at and see what the Asam brothers created but really only worth 5-10 min of your time

This tiny little private chapel built by the Asam brothers is no doubt a baroque masterpiece, although personally all the elements seemed a little squeezed in given its comparatively small size. Not worth making a special trip to find it but if your passing buy given it two or three minutes, take your photo and move on.

This chapel is the poster child for Baroque architecture of the highest order, The story of the brothers who built it is fascinating and although it is small it is packed with the insanely ornamental ‘set dressing’ that is glorious eye candy for even the most jaded cathedral junkies.

If you're a fan of Rococo, this place is for you. Dramatic? Yes. Over the top? Yes. Stunningly beautiful? Absolutely.
It's a small church, but packs a punch. Wedged between buildings not far from the old southern gate of the city, it was built by two brothers who meant for it to be their private chapel.
Mass is at 10am on Sundays. The organist and cantor were wonderful, and it was lovely to hear such beautiful music in this magnificent church.

Over the top Baroque!
Probably the most highly decorated church I’ve ever seen.
It is certainly worth visiting but we had difficulty finding it

Is there an admission fee to get in? Is this place self-guided or do i need to sign up for a tour somewhere?

There is no admission fee to get in, and there was no tour when I got in. I just read about the church on wikipedia before getting in, and that was enough for a basic visit. I'm sure there are professional guides in Munich, if you need more. Just check at the tourist information office.

Hello there, can anyone confirm open hours to visitors/tourist for Assam Church for August 2018? It is inconsistent depending on which website you visit (some have Sundays closed, some say 7 pm daily vs 5pm daily, etc). Thank you!

The hours were irregular during my time there. It was also tough to find someone who knew. Definitely worth the patience and perseverance! Good luck!

Siento no poder ayudarte en este tema. Estuvimos en el hotel Exquisit en Sedlinger Tor y no tenía parking. Llegamos en avion y nos movimos en transporte publico que esta bastante bien.
