St. Sylvester, Parish church in Schwabing, Munich, Germany.

St. Sylvester features an octagonal hall connected to the original structure, with Baroque furnishings and a high altar constructed in 1655.

The church's first documented mention dates to 1315, with evidence suggesting religious activity at this location since 782 when it was dedicated to John the Baptist.

The interior holds sculptures of St. Sylvester and St. Benno by Matthias Schütz from 1673, along with artwork depicting Constantine's vision and Jesus's Passion.

The church maintains regular parish activities under the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, featuring a modern organ with 30 registers and 2,000 pipes.

The bell tower contains a four-part bell set created by Bochumer Verein in the 1920s, while the main altarpiece shows Pope Sylvester praying for Schwabing.
