About this tour
This session looks at the Asamkirche, a small private church built by two brothers directly beside their own home. You see its narrow Baroque facade squeezed between townhouses and the densely decorated interior inside. It is a focused look at one of Munich's most unusual buildings.
I move slowly through the narrow interior, since the ceiling and stucco reward close attention rather than a quick pass. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards on the brothers who built it.
This suits anyone interested in Baroque architecture or unusual personal projects rather than official commissions. It also works well as a quieter stop between busier old town sessions.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
