The parish church of St. Maximilian in Munich's historic Glockenbach district was built between 1895 and 1901, making it one of the youngest churches in Munich. Known as the "Notre-Dame of the Isar," it was constructed as an imposing Neo-Romanesque building. The church was heavily damaged during World War II, but the pointed spires that characterized the building before the bombing were not rebuilt. To me, the church looks as if it wears two crowns on its towers—very striking indeed.

A striking church building on the Isar River, visible from afar from the riverbank and the surrounding meadows.

I can only agree with Bernd's comment about the "two crowns" on the towers – they make the church very special. However, it must be said that the towers didn't look so distinctive in the original design – their current form obviously only came about during the reconstruction after World War II, as can be clearly seen in photos of the earlier version: st-maximilian.de/pfarrkirche/index.html
