Munich - St Boniface's Church Bonifatiusbasilika
|
|
The Benedictine Monastic Church of St Boniface in Munich, which is also the parish church of the Maxvorstadt, was built in 1834-47 in Byzantine style to the designs of Georg Friedrich Ziebland. Following its destruction in the Second World War Hans Döllgast rebuilt the south end and porch, and later a modern conventual building was constructed on the ruins of the north end and apse.

The old conventual buildings originally linked the building which now houses the State Collection of Antiquities with the apse of the church - a bringing together of religion (the Church), learning (the monastery) and art (the museum) which appealed to the Romantic educational ideal of the first half of the 19th C.
