Inside Baroque Brilliance St. Michael’s

Inside Baroque Brilliance
St. Michael’s Church, Passau, Germany

⛪️ Nestled in the old town of Passau, just steps from the Danube, lies a hidden Baroque masterpiece: St. Michael’s Jesuit Church.

✨ Built in the early 17th century, this church once belonged to a Jesuit college. Today, it’s part of Passau’s spiritual and architectural heartbeat.

👼 Angels dance along the stucco ceilings
⛏️ Every column, curve, and carving was hand-sculpted over 300 years ago
⚜️ That golden pulpit? It practically levitates

Fun facts:
— The pulpit’s canopy is topped with St. Michael the Archangel, spear in hand
— The altar glows in gold leaf, with a dramatic ceiling painting above
— Confessionals are tucked into hand-carved wooden alcoves with green curtains

📍Located near the Veste Niederhaus footpath and a short walk from St. Stephen’s Cathedral — so don’t miss this gem when you’re exploring the “City of Three Rivers.”
