 Asamhouse on the left and
Asamchurch by globetrott
These sights are about halfway from Marienplatz to Sendlinger Tor in Sendlinger Strasse Nr.62.
Oficcially the church is named St. Johann Nepomuk church, but everybody calls it ASAM-kirche .
Cosmas Damian Asam (1686-1739) was famous for his frescos, he studies in Rome , was married twice and had 13 children.
His brother Egid Quirin Asam (1692-1750) was famous for his sculptures, studied in Cologne and never married.
Both of them were great architects and painters and also their father Georg Asam was a famous painter himself. Leave a Comment Address: Sendlingerstrasse 62Directions: Asamhouse and Asamchurch are about halfway between Sendlinger Tor and Marienplatz

 Asamchurch interior by globetrott
This church might be the most beautiful church of the many that were built and decorated by the Asam-brothers, and it even had a private window, through which they could have a look on the altar from their home.
Their special style of church-decorations is also called "ASAM-Baroque" and you may find churches decorated by them in Aldersbach, Weltenburg, Rohr and Osterhofen in Bavaria, Einsiedeln in Switzerland, Brevnov in Prague and another 4 churches in Munich.

 the facade of Asamhouse by globetrott
The one on my picture was used as the private house of the Asam-brothers and was decorated in their typical Roccoco style.
the 3 other houses were rebuilt as the St.Johann Nepomuk church and the house of the priest.
Both brothers became very rich with their work and finally owned several houses in Munich.
The small pic looks a bit confusing , BUT when you click on my pic , you will see the many great stucco-works on the facade ! Leave a Comment Address: Sendlingerstrasse 62Directions: Asamhouse is about halfway between Sendlinger Tor and Marienplatz

St.-Johann-Nepomuk-Kirche (aka Asamkirche) is the most ornamented church in Munich. Begun in 1733 and completed in 1746, it was constructed by the Asam brothers who are famous for many other Baroque/Rococo works. The exterior of this church belies its' interior which causes gasps upon entering. It was built as a personal chapel for the Asam family and later bequeathed to the city of Munich. It truly does the Bavarian sense of Bavarian decoration proud. I promise that my photographs do not do justice to this wonderful church. Address: Sendlingerstrasse 62

This church was built by two brothes to themselves (one was architect and the other painter) After some years they were obliged to open it for the public Leave a Comment Address: Sendlingerstrasse, 62Directions: Near Sendlinger Tor U-bahn stop

Don't leave Munich without visiting the Asamkirche (officially known as St-Johann-Nepomuk). It's one of the most enchanting examples of the Bavarian Rococo style. I never saw a church like this! Unfortunately, the pics I took inside were all too dark, so you will have to go to Munich and look for yourself ;-) Leave a Comment Address: Sendlinger Strasse 32, MunichDirections: U-Bahn station "Sendlinger Tor"

We visited several churches in and around Marienplatz, but the one I really wanted to see was the Asamkirche. It was a private church, built by the Asam brothers from 1733 to 1746, and later opened up to the public. The real name of the Church is St. Johann Nepomuk - named after a monk who drown in the Danube. But everyone calls it the Asamkirche.
Drippy, Roccoco style. Truly a site to see. Leave a Comment Address: Sendlinger Straße 32Directions: There's a Starbucks (of all things) across the street.
