ST JOHANN NEPOMUK CHURCH - Baroque Catolic Church of St Johann Nepomuk, better known as the Asam Church. It's pretty unusul and has an interesting story. St Nepomuk was built in 18th cent by brothers Asam for private use and it's connectd (share the wall) to their house. The high, narrow interior, mysteriously lit from above, is richly decorated with paint, stuccowork, sculpture, and gilt. The ceiling is decorated with painted figures ascending into a space that seems to transcend architectural boundaries.
The Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Munich (1733–46), also known as the Asamkirche in honour of the brothers Asam, is their masterwork and is an early contribution to the Bavarian Rococo style. The high, narrow interior, mysteriously lit from above, is richly decorated with paint, stuccowork, sculpture, and gilt.
St Johann Nepomuk Kirche is overdecorated everywhere. Here is the entrance into the church from the street - it sticks out as a bow.
