Damenstiftskirche Sankt Anna is a Church in Munich, Germany. It was commissioned in the 18th-Century by The Elector, Charles Albert (later, The Emperor Charles VII), and the cornerstone was laid in 1733.
A Monastery, in the legal form of a Chapter of Nuns, was set up. The architect was Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer, while the Asam brothers were responsible for the Interior. The Women's Collegiate Church was Consecrated in 1735.
All but the outer walls were destroyed in World War II. The Interior was restored from old photographs in 1980, but the murals are now painted in Black and White.
On 1 September 2014, Reinhard Cardinal Marx, Metropolitan Archbishop of München und Freising, permanently entrusted the Church to The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP).
Since then, daily Mass has been exclusively offered in The Extraordinary Form.
