Church of St. Michael

Jesuitenkirche St. Michael, St. Michael's Church
Germany, Munich
The Church of St. Michael is the largest Renaissance church north of the Alps, at one time one of the main strongholds of the Counter-Reformation. The cathedral was built from 1583 to 1597 by order of William V, where, later, he was buried. At the entrance to the church, under a marble portal, there is a bronze statue of the Archangel Michael, which was created at the end of the 16th century. There are 15 statues of the patrons of this cathedral in the church niches. In 1944, the Church of St. Michael was destroyed during the bombing of Munich. The building was restored in 1948.

The history of this church is closely connected with the reign of William the Pious, and the cost of its construction significantly devastated the state treasury. It is now a functioning Jesuit church. Inside it is very light, calm and somehow peaceful .. .
