The Asam Church in Munich was built between 1733 and 1746 by Cosmas Damian and Egid Quirin Asam. It is considered one of the most important buildings of the two main representatives of the South German late Baroque. The church was originally intended to be a chapel for the Asam brothers, who were now based in Munich. After Egid Quirin Asam managed to acquire several properties next to his house between 1729 and 1733, he and his brother Cosmas Damian began building the Church of St. Johann Nepomuk there in 1733. The church is magnificently designed both inside and out and is hard to beat in terms of Baroque opulence.
