St. Lukas
St. Lukas stands on the banks of the Isar in Munich as the city’s largest Protestant church. Its Romanesque exterior rises with two eastern bell towers and a dome nearly 64 metres high. Albert Schmidt designed the church, built between 1893 and 1896, which remains Munich’s only pre-Second World War Lutheran church in the historic centre.
Inside, an early Gothic style shapes a Greek-cross plan with a three-sided eastern apse. The western facade has seven sides. Schmidt adapted these forms to the Catholic architectural character of Munich at the time, creating a distinctive meeting of traditions beneath the tall dome.
Wheelchair access makes the church easier to visit. Concerts, services and cultural events bring the interior to life, including performances by the St. Lukas Gospel Choir.
