Why is St. Gabriel in Munich designed like an early Christian basilica? Standing before its red brick facade you might think you’ve been transported back to a different era. This isn’t accidental. St. Gabriel, completed in 1926, deliberately echoes the architectural style of those early Christian churches with its spacious high nave, transept, and lower side aisles. Inside these walls you’ll find stunning artwork like the Kreuzwegstationen created by Friedrich Cothen-Orla gracing the arches above. Another treasure lies hidden within – a magnificent organ boasting 40 registers, three manuals, and a pedal. This musical behemoth was built in 1969, incorporating parts of its predecessor, an organ from 1930. St. Gabriel isn’t just a feast for the eyes and ears, it’s a testament to Munich’s rich history and architectural prowess.
