This 17th-century Baroque church is a burst of color, with golden towers and a green copper dome. It is modeled after Rome’s Sant’ Andrea della Valle.
The façade was completed in Rococo style by François de Cuvilliers, who was credited for bringing Rococo to Germany.
The interior is white stucco.
The church and monastery were built to honor the Italian Order of the Theatines of Munich to celebrate the birth of Prince Max Emanuel. The dome stands above the royal crypt, where various Wittelsbach family members rest.
