Splendour (3)

an amazing ceiling fresco in the Heilig-Geist-Kirche (Church of the Holy Spirit) in Munich - it is a Gothic hall church originally belonging to the Hospice of the Holy Ghost (14th century). It was remodelled in 1724–30 by Johann Georg Ettenhofer  (vaults, renovation of pillars); in the interior are Rococo frescoes and stucco ornament by the Asam brothers. After the demolition of the hospice buildings in 1885, Franz Lšwel added three bays at the west end of the church and gave it a Neo-Baroque facade. The church suffered severe damage during World War II and its interior furnishings were largely destroyed; extensive rebuilding and restoration was carried out after the war. The interior of the church was renovated in 1991.

just one image of another one of the splendd Munich churches - more to come in later days
