Guided Story

Feel that tranquility? It's like the city's hustle fades away here. Look at the facade. Those clean lines and timeless design by Hermann Buchert tell a story of endurance. Now look up, the spire rises gracefully into the sky. Over 800 years ago, the spiritual life of a small village began right here, now part of Munich. Listen closely, and you might catch the echoes of old prayers whispering through the walls. Behind you in the distance is Suresnes Castle, another testament to the rich history of this area.
