Augustinerkirche, Gothic church in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
Description
Augustinerkirche is a church building in Munich's old town that blends Gothic and Baroque architectural styles. The interior features a spacious hall with soaring vaults and staircases, while the walls have been painted white in a way that shapes its current appearance.
History
Built in the 13th century as a monastery church, the building served religious purposes for centuries. When the monastery was dissolved during secularization in 1803, the church became a toll house.
Culture
The church served as a spiritual center for the community and remains a recognizable landmark in the old town with its distinctive tower. Today visitors experience the large interior spaces and white walls that reflect how the building was repurposed for a different purpose in the past.
Practical
The building is open to visitors who want to explore the architectural features and interior spaces. Check ahead about opening times and access, since the building's uses and visiting conditions may change depending on exhibitions or events.
