All Saints, formerly the cemetery church of St Peter's parish, was built about 1478 by Jörg von Halspach (known as Ganghofer), architect of the Frauenkirche. Secularized after the closing of the cemetery in 1789, it is now the church of Munich's Ukrainian Catholic community.
The Gothic building, oriented to the south, is constructed of brick without plaster or other facing.
