Asamhaus, Baroque residential building in Sendlinger Straße, Munich, Germany
Asamhaus is a baroque residential structure on Sendlinger Straße in Munich featuring a four-story facade with white stucco ornaments set against a yellow background. The front displays intricate decorative details distributed between its multiple windows and stands directly beside the Asamkirche.
The structure was originally built in the 16th century and later acquired by the Asam brothers in 1733 as part of their larger architectural project. This acquisition marked the beginning of comprehensive artistic transformation of the entire complex.
The facade displays typical Bavarian decorative elements that reflect the daily aesthetic of the city. Visitors can observe the craftsmanship that makes this building a significant part of local architectural identity.
The building is located at Sendlinger Straße 34 and remains easily accessible for exterior viewing and photography throughout the year. The adjacent location next to the Asamkirche makes it a natural stop during a walk through the old town.
Egid Quirin Asam personally created the stucco decorations after learning his craft in Rome under artistic influences including Bernini. This makes the facade a rare example of direct Italian artistic influence in Munich architecture.
