Magnificent baroque church |
Theatinerstraße 22 Munich, Bayern 80333 +49 89 210 6960 http://www.theatinerkirche.de |
The visitor can thank Henriette Adelaide of Savoy, wife of Elector Ferdinand Maria, for the construction of this church, which she was promised in return for the birth of a male successor. By 1662, the deed was done. Construction of the church was supervised by architect Zucalli and provost Spinelli who devised the magnificent baroque dome. The building is dominated by conical towers with bulging spiral roofs; in 1768, the facade was remodelled in the rococo style by François Cuvilliés the Elder. Faisenberg's carved wooden pulpit is the most striking feature in the pale stone interior. Review © 2009, Wcities |
