Traveler reviews
Drew Young
★★★★★2 months agoAnother beautiful place of worship in München. Despite the ominous all seeing g eye on top of this Church, which was also dotted about inside if you were looking, we wondered into Heilig Geist late on afternoon in early June. The place was quite breathtaking, with one very fine art throughout. The air of the place was correct solemn. A really good place to spend a bit of time and perhaps pray. Free to visit, but a donation is advisable. Highly recommended.
Michael Mack
★★★★★a year agoStunning church in Munich with amazing architecture. Beautiful high altar in the church. Sculptures and paintings are wonderful to see. We really enjoyed our visit. Highly recommend. It is free to enter.
