Cathedral of the Holy Virgin

The Cathedral of the Holy Virgin, also known as the Frauenkirche, is a symbol of Munich and the highest cathedral in the city. Built in the XV century, the temple is also a significant monument of Gothic architecture.

The main part of the structure was completed in 1488, and the domes, due to lack of funds, were completed in 1524. At the time of completion, the cathedral accommodated 20,000 visitors, despite the city's population being just 13,000 residents. The facade has a poor decor, which is unusual for the Gothic style, but it looks solemn. The interior of the cathedral is no less unusual - instead of gloomy walls and darkness, as is usually the case in Gothic temples, the interior decoration is characterized by an abundance of light colors and colored stained glass windows, which creates a warm atmosphere inside the temple. Also in the cathedral you can see 22 majestic columns supporting the ceiling, an abundance of bas-reliefs and several tombs.
