Munich Churches and their History

Munich Churches and their History reveal a complex narrative where faith often hid a dark past beneath a cloak of wonderful architecture.

Munich Churches and their History reveal a complex narrative where faith often hid a dark past beneath a cloak of wonderful architecture. It is a story of resilience, art, and deep spiritual conviction found throughout the city. The Holy Roman Empire of German Countries had its roots in a strong movement from Rome, supported vigorously by the Clerus. Bavaria remains unique as the only state in Germany that stands firmly with Catholicism, maintaining this identity even after the brutal 30 Years' War and other historical events and mishappens.

Consequently, the full scope of Munich Churches and their History is inextricably intertwined with the daily life and cultural identity of the populace. The strong roots of the church have heavily influenced our renowned beer history, traditional food, and the distinct political development that we see today. On this guided walking tour, we take you through the major churches and some secret churches around the city, explaining how our relationship with religion developed our city into what it is now.

Discovering Sacred Architecture

You will witness where Baroque has its root and marvel at one of the rarities from Munich: a facade that wasn't destroyed during the wars. A vital chapter of Munich Churches and their History is found at our Cathedral in the city, which was revived from the ashes. We also explore romantic frescos and the fascinating tale of the pretzel knight. Although the courtyard church is not open for public access, seeing it from the outside is crucial to the narrative. This architectural journey highlights how Munich Churches and their History define the skyline. The extended tour option allows for even further discovery of these sites.
