Trinity Church, Baroque church in the old town of Munich, Germany

Trinity Church is an octagonal domed church with short cross arms, built 1711–1718 in Munich's old town. Its double-storey south façade projects from the street, with a polygonal entrance framed by recessed Ionic columns and heavy baroque cornices. The interior has delicate tendril stucco on the main space and strong white, yellow and red stucco on the pendentives and dome base.

The church fulfilled a 1704 vow by the Bavarian estates and Munich citizens, made on the prophecy of Maria Anna Lindmayr in the hope of being spared by the Austrians in the War of the Spanish Succession. The foundation stone was laid in 1711; after Viscardi's death in 1713, the parlier Johann Georg Ettenhofer continued the building, completed in 1718. The adjoining Discalced Carmelite convent, founded in 1711 by Empress Eleonore, was dissolved in 1802 during secularisation.

The ceiling frescoes by Cosmas Damian Asam draw visitors' eyes upward as soon as they enter, creating an overwhelming sense of divine imagery. These paintings represent a major artistic tradition that made Munich an important center for religious art during the baroque period.

The church sits in the heart of Munich's old town and is easily accessible on foot from main streets. Keep in mind that access may be limited during services and quiet behavior is expected inside.

During World War II, this church was the only one in central Munich that survived the heavy bombing campaigns without damage. This survival makes it a symbol of resilience amid the destruction that marked the city.
