The Theatine Church was built by Elector Ferdinand Maria of Bavaria (1636-1679) and his wife Henriette Adelaide of Savoy (1636-1676) in fulfillment of a vow.
They promised to build a magnificent church to Saint Cajetan of Thiene, the founder of the Theatine Order, if they were blessed with children. The church is dedicated to their advocate and to Saint Adelaide of Burgundy, the Electress's namesake. Immediately after the birth of their first child, Princess Maria Anna (1660-1690), the Bologna-born architect Agostino Barelli was entrusted with the construction of the church opposite the Residenz. However, the foundation stone was not laid until after the birth of the heir to the throne, Max Emanuel (1662-1726), on April 29, 1663. The models were the mother church of the Theatine Order, Sant'Andrea della Valle in Rome, and the Jesuit church of Santa Lucia in Bologna. The partially unfinished church was consecrated on July 11, 1675. After the early death of the Electoral couple, the church was completed under Elector Max Emanuel, but due to a changed financial situation, the façade with its two towers was not added until 1692. It was only under Elector Max III Joseph (1727-1777) that the façade was constructed from 1765 to 1768 by François de Cuvilliés the Elder and his son, with the same, unfortunately unfulfilled, hope for descendants.
