    The Catholic parish and university church of St. Ludwig in Munich, called Ludwigskirche, built between 1829 and 1844, is the first monumental church building in the round arch style and has the second largest altar fresco in the world.

    The parish area today includes the eastern part of Maxvorstadt and the southernmost part of Schwabing.

    With its towering twin towers, the Ludwigskirche (St. Ludwig) is visible from afar and is a landmark for the university district in Maxvorstadt.
    A special feature of the church is the mosaic roof covered in many different colors, which is only fully visible from a bird's eye view. The shape of the nave is based on a cross.
    The most important work of art is the altar fresco "The Last Judgment" by Peter Cornelius, the second largest in the world. The limestone figures of the four evangelists with Christ by Ludwig von Schwanthaler are also worth seeing.
