The Catholic Parish and University Church St. Louis, called Ludwigskirche, in Munich is a monumental church in Neo-Romanesque style with the second-largest altar fresco of the world. The building, with its round arches called the Rundbogenstil, strongly influenced other church architecture, train stations and synagogues in both Germany and the United States.
