Duck into St. Ludwig, the neo-Romanesque university church on Ludwigstrasse. Stand beneath its round arches and take in the vast altar fresco, one of the largest in the world.

Full description

Ludwigskirche is the Catholic parish and university church on Ludwigstrasse, designed in a large neo-Romanesque style with round arches. Its best-known feature is the huge painted altar fresco, described as the second largest of its kind in the world.

Reviews

A great historic and wonderful church. I have been there many times and recently attended a mass there. I definitely will go again. There are a lot of events there for the Catholic Church.
