From the outside rather unimpressive but inside a magnificent church, which was built from 1717 to 1732. The impressive late Baroque interior was created over decades, the high altar was donated in 1771 by the Ettal Monastery. As the church stands on a hill, it is visible from afar, with the 50 -meter-high church tower particularly striking.

Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom the church in Murnau is dedicated, is – next to Saint Martin – one of the most popular saints of all. Almost every child in Germany - and far beyond - should know his commemoration day, December 6th.
On the eve of this day, the children used to put their shoes or boots in front of the door - which of course had to be cleaned with great care - so that they could be filled with gifts by St. Nicholas during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for the children to put out a small amount of food for the donkey, St. Nicholas' riding animal (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).
