St. Michael's Church, Munich
St. Michael's Church, Munich, Renaissance church in Altstadt-Lehel, Germany.
St. Michael's Church extends 78 meters in length with a 20-meter-wide barrel vault, making it the largest Renaissance church structure north of the Alps.
Duke Herzog Wilhelm V commissioned the construction of this church between 1583 and 1597 as a symbol of the Catholic Counter-Reformation movement in Bavaria.
The church interior displays numerous bronze statues of the Bavarian Wittelsbach dynasty and holds significant artworks, including Peter Candid's Annunciation altarpiece.
Located midway between Karlsplatz and Marienplatz at Neuhauser Straße 6, the church welcomes visitors and maintains regular religious services throughout the week.
The royal crypt beneath the church contains the tomb of Ludwig II, the Bavarian king who built Neuschwanstein Castle and other notable palaces.
