@michael.the.canadian: The Asamkirche, also known as St. Johann Nepomuk, was built in the 18th century by the Asam brothers—Cosmas Damian and Egid Quirin Asam—in Munich. This Baroque masterpiece was originally a private chapel for the brothers, who were both artists and architects. Built between 1733 and 1746, it’s filled with intricate artwork, dramatic sculptures, and a stunning ceiling fresco, all designed by the Asams themselves. What makes the Asamkirche unique is its intimate size and personal details, like the small window in Egid’s house next door, allowing him to see the altar from his home. Today, it’s a remarkable example of German Rococo art and a hidden gem in the heart of Munich.
