Lukaskirche

St Luke's is one of the small number of Lutheran churches in overwhelmingly Catholic Munich. The church was built in the late 19th century in Romanesque style to accommodate the expanding Lutheran community in the city.

St Luke's survived the Second World War largely intact. However, there are major structural problems with the building and the front of the church is currently covered with scaffolding as part of the ongoing repair and restoration work.

Thanks m_m. This is a nice church to shoot because it stands by the river so it is possible to stand well back to frame it without anything getting in the way.
