Romanesque in its core (the first church at this location was built in the 11th century, its successor was consecrated in 1121), renovated after a burning in 1617 (including the two steeples), the Baroque facade was begun in 1696, and the terrace is from 1723. (We've already seen it from the rose garden, and were looking at its interior and ceiling.)

@Japanalia: Fortunately just a few cars! If this would be Düsseldorf, you would have a parking place with several hundred cars right in front of the church.
@Ana Lúcia: Very effectively located on a hill, quite dominant.
@António Pires: And the result is quite harmonious, as the different styles seem to respect each over. With Baroque, it's often a bit problematic, especially in the interior, when Baroque altars are placed into Romanesque or Gothic churches, because most of the time these altars don't match the architecture very well. But with church I didn't have that impression.
@MARIANA: Thanks very much!
@Evelyne Dubos: My thoughts exactly, but people working there don't want to come by foot every day, I think. :-)
@B.Held: Cheers, Brittany!
@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks a lot, this ego-boost comes in time! :-) Yes, a great church that keeps its promises from outside also inside.
@Twelvebit: Banksters would end up in smoke in places like this.
@Michael: It would only be half the fun with just one steeple. :-)
@Philip: Sure, it's Bavaria! ;-)
@akarui: Just for preventing somebody to get into trouble if there was something that shouldn't have been... :-)
@dj.tigersprout: Two means double fun! :-)
@Cricket-TammyWarren: This happened much too often; cities are losing their faces and their character this way.
@Magda: With a checkered history: many of these very old churches / buildings experienced a lot of construction phases.
