Frauenkirche, Michaelskirche and Ludwigskirche

Frauenkirche or Cathedral of Our Blessed Lady is one of the famous landmarks in Munich. Apparently it is the largest church in Munich, according to Wikipedia. You can't miss this church; you can see the twin towers from anywhere.



It was from one of these towers that I took the bird-eye view pictures of Munich city. Pay the price, climb up the narrow winding staircase to the lift, go all the way up and you are there!



The church is famous for its stained glass windows. It was beautiful, when the light was streaming through the coloured glass. Seems fairytale like. There were also art pieces from famous artists that adorned the interior walls.





Every window had a different story to tell. I had to come back twice because again, I happened to be at the church when the mass was about to start and they cordoned off the altar area to the tourists.



Michaelskirche was another church that I went to. Unfortunately when I arrived there, or rather more accurately, stumbled upon the church, it was late evening. The sun was already setting and the interior of the church was a little bit too dark for me to take decent photographs without the use of a tripod. But the effect of the candlelight and the soft orange glow from the lamps gave the church a kind of sacred feel that left me in awe.



Ludwigskirche was another gorgeous church that I had visited. The interior was just so pretty, with the rich colours of dark mossy green, dark violet blue and gold designs. It was understated in beauty, when compared to the Theatinerkirche or even Frauenkirche, but nevertheless, it was just simply beautiful.
