Damenstiftskirche Sankt Anna is a collegiate church of St. Anna, whose origins date back to 1440, when a small monastery chapel stood here. In 1496, a Gothic building was erected in its place, designed by Lukas Rottaler. The current shape of the temple was obtained in 1732-35, when on the order of the elector Karl Albrecht (later emperor Charles VIII) Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer built a church for the Salesian congregation.
The interior design of the temple was the work of brothers Egid Quirin Asam (sculptor) and Cosmas Damian Asam (painter) - valued architects and interior decorators who created in the first half The eighteenth century thanks to them the Baroque-Rococo church received magnificent frescoes, a wealth of sculptural ornaments and figural representations, including the Last Supper with life-size figures of Christ and the Apostles.
The temple, destroyed during World War II (only the load-bearing walls have survived), was restored in 1980. The frescoes were recreated without the use of colors, because no colorful documentation has survived.
