Alte Kapelle
Basilika zur Alten Kapelle
One of the oldest churches in Bavaria. Its exterior is unassuming, but the interior is a dazzling Rococo display of gold and white.
The church dates back to the Carolingian period. In the 18th century it was remodeled in an opulent Rococo style, with gilded stucco, ceiling paintings, and an organ that will leave you in awe. The new organ installed in 2005 was consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI. Entry is free, but at certain times visitors can only view the church from behind a barrier. It is located in the city center, about a three-minute walk from the cathedral.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–17:00 (subject to church schedule)
