Heilig-Geist-Kirche, Gothic parish church in Old Town, Munich, Germany
The Church of the Holy Spirit features a hall church design with Gothic buttresses, Baroque interior decorations, and a prominent tower topped with a lantern dome.
Founded in 1208 as part of a hospice, the church underwent major reconstruction in 1392 under architect Gabriel Ridler after a devastating fire destroyed the original structure.
The central nave contains frescoes by Cosmas Damian Asam depicting biblical scenes, while the right aisle displays Peter Jacob Horemans' paintings of the Seven Gifts.
The church opens daily with extended hours from 9:00 to 20:00 on weekdays and 8:30 to 20:00 during weekends, offering visitors access to its art collection.
Four bells ring from the tower, including the Breznreiter bell added in 2012, named after a medieval merchant who distributed pretzels to people in need.
