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.
