When you've been walking and walking, this church is a very convenient place for rest, peace and contemplation. The church is immense. Its barrel-vaulted ceiling is the largest outside of St. Peter's in Rome. The church was built by the Jesuits as part of the Counter-Reformation. A painting of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, is on the right. I walked down to the crypt, but didn't go for the 2 euros crypt view. The church itself is breath-taking. The church is right next to Marienplatz on Kaufingerstrasse. The iconic Rathaus (Globckenspiel) etc. are nearby. It would be nice to catch a mass here.

We really enjoyed visiting this beautiful historic church in the Old Town area of Munich. The…read morecrypt below is definitely worth exploring too as it is the final resting place of many members of the Bavarian royal family from the 16th to 20th centuries. The Church itself is an amazing sight inside and with artistic and religious treasures all around. Its also a great place to worship and much less crowded with tourists than the Frauenkirche nearby.

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.

He spoke out against anti-Catholic baiting campaigns and fought against Nazi church policy. Fr. Mayer spoke from the pulpit of St. Michael's in downtown Munich and because he was a powerful influence in the city, the Nazis could not tolerate such a force to oppose them. On 16 May 1937, the Gestapo ordered Fr. Mayer to stop speaking in public which he obeyed, but he continued to preach in church. He ended up in jail on numerous occasions as a result of his stand. It is an ordinary looking building from the outside but when you step in its beautiful. Nice ornate walls and ceiling and very peaceful.
