The story of the Frauenkirche
The Frauenkirche, the Cathedral of Our Dear Lady, was built in just 20 years between 1468 and 1488 in late Gothic brick. Its twin towers, nearly 99 metres high, are topped by green onion domes added in the 16th century.
To protect the skyline, buildings in the city centre are not allowed to be taller than the towers. Near the entrance, a dark mark in the floor is known in legend as the "Devil's Footprint".
