Description:
- There is quite a story to the events that led to the building of the Dreifaltigkeitskirche. During the War of the Spanish Succession, a local girl had a vision that Munich would only be spared if a church were built. For a while the warning went unheeded, but when the city was threatened in 1704, influential citizens decided to follow the girl's divine judgement. The foundation stone was laid in 1711 and the task entrusted to architects Viscardi, Ettenhofer and Zuccalli. The convex late-baroque facade, bearing a mixture of Italian and Bavarian influences, is particularly noteworthy. Works by several noted artists can be found inside, such as the fresco on the ceiling by Cosmas Asam.
