Michaelskirche

It stands quietly and with dignity amid the retail frenzy of Kaufingerstraße, but for fans of Ludwig II, the Michaelskirche is the perfect place for... St. Michael's Church, a large and impressive Renaissance church, is also a testament to the building craftsmanship of bygone centuries – it dates from 1597 and has been welcoming worshippers and the curious ever since. The sheer scale of the building is impressive given its age, and it boasts one of the largest vaults in the world. Inside, scenes of the Archangel Michael battling Evil, along with lavish gilded inlay and a magnificent altar, guarantee you'll find plenty of dramatic photos.
