St. Michael, Renaissance church in Munich, Germany

The church features a 20-meter barrel-vaulted roof, making it the second largest Renaissance construction after Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Construction began in 1583 under William V of Bavaria, with modifications occurring in 1590 when a tower collapsed, leading to an enlarged design.

The interior displays white stucco decorations depicting Jesus Christ's life, while the facade contains statues of Bavarian Wittelsbach dynasty rulers.

The church spans 1500 square meters with a height of 28 meters and length of 80 meters, containing multiple chapels between wall pillars.

The crypt houses the tombs of King Ludwig II, Eugène de Beauharnais, and other members of the Wittelsbach royal family.
