No one has rated this yet.

Weinstraße, a lane off Marienplatz, leads to the Frauenkirche (1468–88), a basilica designed by Jörg von Halsbach. A lack of funds forced him to abandon his idea of Gothic towers. The “Swiss bonnets” that top the towers were added later and are perhaps the forerunners of all the onion domes in Bavaria. Highlights are the emperor’s tomb, Erasmus Grasser’s carving, and the statue of St Christopher.
