Traveler reviews
Eleni Iak
★★★★★4 weeks agoA magnificent and striking church at Odeonsplatz with a stunning yellow Baroque facade and twin towers. Saw it during the blue hour just after sunset, and the lighting made the architecture look absolutely magical and breathtaking. One of the most beautiful churches in Munich
Osman “Ozzie” G.
★★★★★9 months agoBeautiful and peaceful church right in the heart of Munich. The bright yellow exterior and the detailed Baroque interior are stunning. It feels calm and welcoming inside, with amazing architecture and beautiful altars. The atmosphere is quiet even though it’s just next to Odeonsplatz. Great spot to stop by while exploring the old town; definitely worth a visit!
