I arrived at Marienplatz by subway train and then walked toward the Munich Residence. The Treasury is located inside the Munich Residence. I was not able to visit the Treasury on my first visit because I ran out of time.

Out of the the Munich Residence

I strolled along the streets behind the Munich Residence Museum to continue the Munich Walk that I had started in the previous blog.

This building is part of Munich Residence.

Theatine Church

The Theatine Church (Theatinerkirche), officially known as St. Kajetan Church (St. Kajetan), is a prominent Baroque church in Munich. It was commissioned by the Bavarian Elector Ferdinand Maria and his wife Henriette Adelaide in the mid-17th century, primarily as a thank-you offering for the birth of their son, who would later become Elector Max Emanuel.

The church is a example of Baroque architecture, characterized by its grand and ornate design.

Inside, the church is equally impressive, featuring a lavish Baroque interior with intricate stucco work, elaborate altars, and a grand dome.

I kept shooting the same picture repeatedly because the lighting was so beautiful.
