The temple arose on the initiative of two Azam brothers, who were architects, sculptors and painters at the same time. This is one of the few historical sights, the appearance of which the Wittelsbach dynasty did not have a hand in. The brothers planned to use the church as a home chapel, but later, at the insistence of the people, it was open to all comers.

For tourist visits, it is not possible to fully access the church because there is a fence that prevents it, but from the entrance there is an entrance space that allows, as far as possible, to appreciate this jewel of religious art in this city.
It is free and open every day.
An atmosphere that seems almost mystical.
