The churches in Munich are incredible... more, frankly, than TripAdvisor has listed yet. They are striking for their differences in styles. Theatiner is one of several -- St. Michaels, St. Peter's, Asam, and Heilige Geisst -- that are not to be missed. The best free visits in Munich. More

Just visit this church today. It is so amazing. I have never seen such a beautiful church. It is an amazing architecture. The color white inside the church makes it bright and pure. It is quite easy to find it in Marienplatz. Don't miss it More

There is so much interesting around this church that it kinda "melts" into the background. More

This church on Odeonsplatz really does have some amazing internal decor. The plasterwork is utterly outstanding and must be viewed to be believed. There are cherubs, and plants and bishops! I really like the internal yellow colour inside the central dome too. The church is a rather mustard yellow on the outside which doesn't do it justice on its inside! More

Theatinerkirche in Munich is a somewhat hidden gem just across the street from the Munich Residenz. This immense building is adorned with some of the most incredible plasterwork, altars and murals that you will ever see. If you visit Munich, make sure to stop in and see this place...you will not be disappointed! More
