Lonely Planet review for Asamkirche

Near the Sendlinger Tor, a 14th-century gate, you'll come upon the pint-sized St Johann Nepomuk church, better known as the Asamkirche. Designed and built in the 18th century as a private chapel by the prolific Asam brothers, who lived next door, the over-the-top baroque interior with not an inch of unembellished wall or column, must have been an awe-inspiring sight for 18th-century Müncheners, as it is today. The narrowness of the nave packed with barley-sugar columns, hovering cherubs and faux marble heightens the riotous effect.
