Fugger Stadtpalast

Opened in 2019, this museum, run by the Wolfgang Lettl Association, features a diverse collection of paintings, films, and animations, inviting visitors to explore dreamlike realities.

Museum in the 16th-century church St. Magdalena, displaying Roman artefacts found in and around Augsburg. During the museum closure, a selection can be seen in an exhibition at Zeughaus.

Former weavers’ guild house. The 1389 original was the centre of Augsburg’s cloth trade until the guilds were dissolved; the painted guild parlour is now in Munich’s Bayerisches Nationalmuseum. What you see is a 1913 replacement (Otto Holzer), rebuilt after 1944 and after a 2004 fire. The façade paintings (Otto Michael Schmitt, 1959/60, later renewed) are the point - look from the square, don’t expect a public interior. The Merkur fountain beside it is part of the UNESCO water-management site.

The Rococo hall is at least as striking as Goldener Saal. The art gallery displays art from Baroque and Rococo eras; the attached State Gallery (in a former church) adds late-medieval and early-renaissance paintings from the Bavarian State Collections.

Parish church founded in 1019, rebuilt after fire, collapse and wartime damage. The interior people come for is new: London architect John Pawson stripped it back in 2010–13 to stone, wood and light (Cistercian-plain, not Baroque). Weekday Mass 12:15; Saturday vigil 18:00. Stay out during services if you only want the architecture.

St. Anna Kirche is Augsburg’s main Protestant church. It was built in 1321 as a Carmelite monastery church. It blends Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classicism styles, featuring the Fugger Chapel (1518), the earliest Renaissance structure in Bavaria, and the Gothic Goldsmiths’ Chapel (1420) with frescoes.
