Founded in the 13th Century alongside a hospital for lepers and the lame, the first Church burned down; after some 60 years, the core of the present building was completed in 1392 in the gothic style. However, like many Bavarian churches of the period, it was completely remodelled inside in 1724-30 in the Baroque style, in this case featuring frescoes by the Asam brothers (who built the nearby Asamkirche), although the essential Gothic structure is easy to work out beneath the stucco. The frescoes depict the history of the hospital, which was demolished in the late 19th Century to make way for the market. Well worth a quick detour to visit.

The Church was commissioned by William V, Duke of Bavaria, as a centre for the Counter-Reformation, and a base for the Jesuits, who were already established in Munich. Building began in 1583, but the church itself had to be partially rebuilt after the tower collapsed through the choir in 1590: ironically, it was the huge vault - then the widest after St Peters in Rome - that people feared would fall. Rebuilding began immediately with a new choir and large transept, and an elaborate facade with statues depicting the lineage of the Bavarian Royal Family. It's early baroque style influenced many other churches, but it also incorporates many motifs of the Counter-Reformation within its decoration: the transept vaults appears as triumphal arches, and the bronze statue of St Michael on the main facade shows him fighting a humanoid devil - often taken as an allegory of fighting for the faith against the Protestants. Badly damaged in World War Two, it's restoration was completed in 1983. It remains one of the largest renaissance churches, north of the Alps. King Ludwig II and his brother King Otto are buried in the crypt, alongside other Wittelsbachs. Access to this is via stairs in the south (right-hand) transept. There's a fee of €2, but they don't accept small change and photography is not permitted. I don't mind that, or paying a fee, but the person taking the money had to the least welcoming and grumpiest individual in Munich. Not much of a Christian welcome, I'm sad to report.
