Dreifaltigkeitskirche

Dreifaltigkeitskirche stands in Munich as a Bavarian Baroque church shaped by Giovanni Antonio Viscardi. Its construction lasted from 1711 to 1718. The building began as a votive church dedicated to the Holy Trinity during the War of Spanish Succession. Enrico Zuccalli completed the work after Viscardi died. Its late Baroque design places a central building, an elegant dome, and an ornate entrance behind a distinctive double-faced south façade. The distinctive south façade presents two faces towards the street in Munich. Inside, Cosmas Damian Asam’s dome fresco shows angels, virtues, apostles, and saints adoring the Holy Trinity. The fresco dates from 1714 to 1715. Joseph Ruffini, Andreas Faistenberger, Johann Baptist Straub, and Johann Georg Baader also contributed works to the Baroque interior. Dreifaltigkeitskirche survived the bombing of central Munich during the Second World War. It serves as a Carmelite monastery church and belongs to the metropolitan parish of Our Blessed Lady.
