Hotels near Asamkirche

Tucked along Sendlinger Strasse, the Asamkirche (Asamkirche St Johann Nepomuk) is one of the most astonishing and least-known hidden gems in Munich. Built between 1733 and 1746 by the Asam brothers - Cosmas Damian (fresco painter) and Egid Quirin (sculptor/architect) - this tiny private chapel was designed as an act of personal devotion. Every surface from floor to ceiling is covered in gilded stucco, frescoes, and sculpture in a breathtaking display of Late Baroque excess. Free entry; visit takes under 30 minutes but leaves a lasting impression.

Pro Tip: Most visitors walk past without noticing the narrow facade. Look for the entrance between two residential buildings on Sendlinger Strasse. The contrast between the modest exterior and the explosive interior is part of the magic.
