Guided Story
Take a moment to admire the way the sunlight plays on the church's facade. Imagine the 17th century, when people flocked here to seek refuge during the plague, praying to St. Sebastian, their protector against the epidemic. The air was thick with hope and faith, bringing a sense of solace to all who entered. Look up at the simple yet powerful lines crafted by Hans Zitzelsperger. This understated elegance draws your eyes but calms your spirit. Just behind you, slightly to the southeast, stands the Bavarian Army Museum, another testament to the rich tapestry of history in this area.
