About Kirchheim bei München
What are the main landmarks in Kirchheim bei München?
The register does most of the talking here. Two dozen cultural-heritage entries are recorded within Kirchheim bei München, and one more sits over the boundary in Aschheim, each of them a protected building or site rather than a monument raised for visitors. The Cantate-Kirche is the exception.
It is the only church the list gives this corner of Bavaria, and it carries the name a visitor asks for when they want something to look at.

Kirchheim bei München carries no charter year on its record.

Germany lists each one by number. The Cantate-Kirche belongs to the same record as the only church on it, and the whole set lies 14 km out from the centre of Munich, well inside Bavaria.
