St. Georg und Martin, Baroque abbey church in Kelheim, Germany
St. Georg und Martin features an oval interior layout with intricate frescoes adorning the dome shell, illuminated through innovative indirect lighting techniques.
The construction of the church in 1716 marked the first architectural project of the Asam brothers, who incorporated design elements from their studies in Rome.
The church stands as part of Weltenburg Abbey, a Benedictine monastery established in 1040, representing centuries of monastic traditions in Bavaria.
Located at Asamstrasse 32 in Kelheim, visitors can contact the abbey at +49 09441 204 0 or explore the virtual church tour on their website.
The architectural design creates a calculated contrast between the dim interior spaces and the bright dome shell, emphasizing the fresco depicting church triumph.
