Allerheiligen-Hofkirche, Royal church in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
The Allerheiligen-Hofkirche is a court church in Munich's old town with two prominent domes and pale sandstone walls. The exterior displays Romanesque forms mixed with Byzantine details, while the interior was simplified after wartime damage.
King Ludwig I commissioned architect Leo von Klenze to build this church starting in 1826, drawing inspiration from the Cappella Palatina in Palermo. The interior suffered major damage during World War II and was restored in the early 2000s.
The space now serves as a concert venue where musical performances take place regularly. The transition from royal worship to public cultural events reflects how the building has found new purpose in modern Munich.
Access is mainly through organized Residenz tours or during special events at the venue. The entrance is located at Marstallplatz on the east side, within easy walking distance of Marienplatz.
The building unusually blends Byzantine architecture with South German building traditions. This rare mix came from King Ludwig's fascination with southern Italian models and still shapes the character of the Marienplatz area today.
