Ludwigskirche, Parish and university church in Maxvorstadt, Munich, Germany.

The church features two symmetrical towers reaching 71 meters in height and includes a three-aisled floor plan spanning 60 meters in length.

King Ludwig I of Bavaria commissioned the construction of Ludwigskirche in 1829, with architects Friedrich von Gärtner and Leo von Klenze completing it in 1844.

Peter von Cornelius painted the Last Judgment fresco above the high altar, creating the second largest altar fresco in existence.

Located at Ludwigstrasse 22, the church maintains regular opening hours and functions as both a university church and Catholic parish facility.

The church roof displays an innovative design using sheet iron and tile glazing, creating a distinct mosaic pattern visible across the Munich skyline.
