Michaelskirche
-
An important structure in many ways, this is the largest late Renaissance church north of the Alps. Construction began in 1538. It features the second-largest barrel vault in the world, after St Peter’s in Rome, and was built for the Jesuits. The crypt contains the sarcophagi of Elector Maximilian I and Ludwig II. Not to be missed is the bronze figure of St Michael battling the dragon (1585).
