We love this place, it is full of history and love and peace. Take the time to look at all the paintings outside that tell great stories then head inside to praise Mary.

This 11th-century cathedral, the city's oldest remaining church, is best known for its beautiful golden interior.

The Church of St Peter is one of Munich's main landmarks as it is the oldest church in the city and has a 300 foot bell tower with an observation deck at 184 feet offering a panoramic view and great photo opportunity over the Old Town and the Marienplatz. If you want to take advantage of this view, you have to climb 299 steps as there is no elevator. When the weather is clear, it is said that you can see all the way to the Alps. There is a small 3 euro entrance fee to the observation deck which is open from 10 AM to 6 PM. Inside the church is a magnificent 18th century gilded high altar and large ceiling frescos. A very macabre display in the church is located in the second chapel on the left side. There you will find the skeleton remains of St Mundita which is gilded in gold and covered with precious stones. Jewels even adorn her rotted teeth and false eyes. Mass times at the church are Saturday evening at 6 PM and Sunday 7:30 AM, 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM and 6 PM. Weekday masses are at 8:30 AM 10 AM, 11:30 AM and 6 PM. On many Sundays throughout the year (especially during significant church holidays) you can hear members of the Munich orchestra and the Chamber Choir St Peters perform Viennese classical music, South German romantic works and even contemporary music.

I visited this church on a rainy day in June.After passing through a grave yard a very old handcrafted door opens into the church.This is a Catholic Church,beautiful Wal paintings with a cupola painted and a Chrystal chandelier hanging down on a long chain.The seats are made of pine and you can tell they have been used for centuries.The altar is decorated in gold and silver and you can tell this is a very rich church.A very nice organ oversees the church and it powerful sound is nice to listen too.It is well worth it to take some time to visit this gem.

This is a small church in Munich in the old town area very close to the Marienplatz. This is the Church of St. Johann Nepomuk, also known as the Asam brothers church. This is an amazingly beautiful and full of details built in a Baroque style by two brothers. The two Asam brothers who were sculptor and painter built this beautiful church as a showcase of their talent. They lived there and met with their clients over there. This is simply a breathtaking and magnificent monument with lots of great artful details. Bravo Asam brothers. It is a must see in Munich.

My friend took me to Andechs by walking through the lovely trail with the view of Ammersee along the way. Absolutely love the Schweinhaxel and the dark beer for lunch. A must visit place in Bavaria.

You will drive by St. Koloman or Coloman's church on your way to Neuschwanstein. I'd encourage you to pull of, get out of your car and take a few pictures. You will be joined by weddings and others but early am offers less of a crowd. The valley surrounding the church is almost as spectacular as the mountains and castles.

While driving through the area, we stopped at a bakery in this small town. The lady in the bakery recommended that we stop in the church and we are very grateful for her suggestion. The inside is very ornate and beautiful. They had a large and extensive nativity on display as we were there just after New Year’s Day. We wish the gift shop had been open.
