Asam Church, Germany
From series “Rococo Architecture – Famous Monuments”
St. John's Church is located in Munich. It is also known to many tourists by the unofficial name Asam. Its construction lasted 13 years. It was fully completed in 1746. The beautiful church is one of the most beautiful Rococo monuments in the city today. Initially, this church was built as a private one. It was built by talented local architects – the Azam brothers. They owned several houses near the church. They built a religious monument so that one of the brothers could admire its altar from the window of his house.
A series of protests followed in the circles of residents after the construction of the church. Citizens demanded to make the new church public. The founders of the church had to make concessions to locals. Their creation became public domain a few years after its foundation. The old church is distinguished not only by its spectacular appearance but also by its luxurious interior decoration. Many of its elements have been preserved in their original form.

Top destination around Asam Church - Munich
“Endless staircase” – this is the name of one of the most interesting sculptures in the city. This intriguing example of modern art is an excellent place for taking photographs. Feldherrnhalle (the Hall of Bavarian Generals) – the main competitor of the “Victory Gate” – is definitely worth visiting, and many like to start their tour of the city with this building. It is one of the symbols of the capital of Bavaria. Just like the company BMW, its headquarters is located right here. The headquarters’ building is interesting both from an architectural point of view, and also as a museum where you can learn everything about the history of the concern.
