St. Lukas

St. Lukas is the largest Protestant church in Munich. Built beginning in 1893, it is the only Lutheran church building in the old town that dates from before World War II. Visitors go here to see its historical architecture and its significance as a remaining pre-war religious structure in the city center.

The church is located within the central district of Munich. From the city center, it is accessible via a short walk or by using the local public transport network. Depending on your starting point in the center, the journey typically takes 10 to 15 minutes.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 30 to 60 minutes to explore the interior and the surrounding exterior of the building.
