Lettl-Museum für surreale Kunst

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.

This 16th-century renaissance building is the former residence of Jakob Fugger. After destruction in WW II, it was rebuilt in simplified forms.

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.

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.

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.

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.
