Asamkirche
St.-Hohann-Nepomuk-Kirche, commonly referred to as the Asamkirche after its builders, was constructed by the Asam brothers, Cosmas Damian and Egid Quirin. Although modest on the outside, the interior of the small 18th-centruy church is a baroque fantasy. Above the entrance stands the stature of St. Nepomuk (the church's patron), a 14th-centruy monk who drowned in the Danube. Upon entering the chapel, visitors are greeted with a burst of frescoes surrounded by rich red stucco and lavishly gilded woodwork, a superb illustration of the Bavarian passion for ornamentation.
