Frauenkirche
The two 98-m (320-foot) copper onion-domed towers of the Frauenkirche are the symbols of Munich. The official name Domkirche zu Unserer Lieben Frau (Cathedral of Our Dear Lady), Frauenplatz, never really caught on. The Late Gothic church was erected in 1468-88 and has a simple red brick exterior.
Inside, it is bright with mostly white walls. The church is over 100 m (330 feet) long and 41 m (132 feet) wide. Although damaged in World War II, many parts, including the towers, are original. The rose windows in the choir of the Annunciation date from 1392 and were used in an earlier church.
From April to October, Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm, the south tower has an elevator (Euro 2) to a viewing platform. Do note that it is 86 steps to the elevator and that the views from St Peter are better. The church is a popular venue for concerts.
