Church Tours
St. Alte Peter (Old Peter) and Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) form the medieval core of Munich’s churches. But since the city was the home of Roman Catholic rulers and the centre of the Counter-Reformation, it also has numerous other ecclesiastical buildings. Famous architects built churches in the style of the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Classicism and prestigious sculptors, wood-carvers and stucco plasterers provided elaborate interiors.
