The most beautiful churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels Hesse

Its large tower chiselled red sandstone is in flamboyant Gothic style; inside, many altars have remarkable sculptures or paintings, such as the Maria-Schlaf-Altar of the th century. In addition to its architectural importance, the cathedral has a considerable place in German history: election place of the German emperors under the 1356 Golden Bubble, and the coronation from 1562 to 1792. How many crowned heads have parade on its huge slabs? To find out, visit the Dom Museum.

The panoramic tower, which stretches from the outside of the cathedral through a steep steep spiral staircase, offers one of the most beautiful views of Frankfurt, its Skyline, the old town and the banks of the Main.

This is a worthwhile visit. Naumbourg has one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Germany (Europe claim some) where Romanesque and Gothic Romanesque styles blend. The start of construction dates back to 1213, but it underwent changes until the th century.

In addition to its two choirs, its 4 towers and its beautiful Romanesque crypts, much of its fame comes from its astonishing sculptures of the twelve founders, located in the western chorus, the anonymous work of a master of Naumbourg. These disturbing statues, notably the couple Ekkehard and Uta, with an incredibly true view were sung by German romanticism.

There are also two very beautiful altarpieces and a beautiful frise that traces the Passion of Christ.
