Moritzkirche

Rafa L. a year ago

St. Moritz Church in Augsburg is a striking blend of medieval heritage and modern simplicity. Originally founded in the 11th century, it has undergone several reconstructions, most recently redesigned after World War II by Dominikus Böhm in a minimalist style. The church emphasizes light and space, with clean white walls and subtle use of natural illumination creating a serene atmosphere. Though austere, it preserves a sense of spiritual depth, making it a unique sacred space in Augsburg’s historic center.

Great spirit. The interior of the church was renovated by London based architect John Pawson. The reduction to the essentials gives the church an extreme clarity, tranquillity and is a place to focus and meditate. Windows made out of stone. Don't miss the inner courtyard on the right. There are also regular architectural tours.

During a walking tour of Augsburg, led by a friend, he took us to the door of this church. Before opening it, he said, “The interior of this church was completely redone several years ago. It is now very simple and inviting. Much different from what it was before.” When he opened the door and we entered, I was blown away! Its simplicity immediately welcomes you and you feel a space that quiets your spirit and provides a respite from the cacophony of today’s go-go world. Kudos to those who envisioned and created such a space for today.

A very beautiful and simplistic church but impressive. Totally the opposite of most churches in Bavaria being not ornate at all. It's worth a visit .

Stark...serene and focused on the statue of the risen Christ in the distance behind the altar. A breathtaking experience at first glance as the church is seemingly bare of the dressings that go with the territory of a Catholic church. It was superb both to visit as a tourist and later to worship in during Holy Mass.

St.Moritz is a remarkable minimalistic church with a modern simple design. Inside the white ambient walls brings a visitor the sense of calmness and ease. Outside the church is lively colorful.

It’s a different type of church and would definitely recommend you go check it out. Even if you feel like your already “churched” out make an effort to visit this one. Its a different style which can be refreshing after see so many churches that look fundamentally the same. I’ve actually gone and visited this church twice since I’ve been in Augsburg.

Breathtaking pure white interior is the first time I have ever ever such a church. Serene and seems to be at eternal peace with itself! A must see if you visit Augsburg!
