HOFKIRCHE
Late Renaissance building, formerly a Catholic Jesuit church.
This important late-Renaissance building (1607-1608) was originally intended as a Protestant counterpart to the Catholic Church of St. Michael in Munich (see Michaelskirche). After his father's death, Count Palatine Wolfgang William converted it into a Jesuit church, and thus into a Catholic church. Peter Paul Rubens created three altarpieces for the church, of which the Miracle of Pentecost and the Birth of Christ are now on display in the National Gallery of Flemish Baroque Painting in the Neuburg Palace of Residence (see Schloss Neuburg).
