Sehr schöne gotische Kirche im Zentrum des kleinen Städtchens Wertheim an der Tauber. Von Außen…read moreeher unauffällig, aber innen mit einem besonders aufwändig gestalteten Altarbereich. Etwas kurios wirkt die kleine Plastikreplik von Martin Luther vorne rechts vor dem Altar, ob die dem rustikalen, zornigen Reformator gefallen hätte? ;). Die Kirche liegt auf dem Weg zwischen Bahnhof und der Hauptattraktion der Stadt, der Burgruine - ist also nicht zu verfehlen. Ganz in der Nähe befindet sich auch der zentrale Marktplatz mit diversen, Cafés, Restaurants und Brauhäusern.

This church is right dab in the middle of this cute town! With the high towers, vaulted ceilings,…read morestained glass windows and ornate altars, it pretty much depicts a typical medieval church. However, two MUST SEES are the Twelve Apostle Altar and the Altar of the Holy Blood. Both are masterpieces of carved wood. Walk around, take photos, take in the sights. The 2 euro entry fee is nothing compared to the history inside. I was impressed with the church including the 500 year old wood carvings in intricate and skillful detail. While walking around this picture-perfect town, make sure to visit St. Jackobs-Kirche.

There is a 2 euro fee per person .. no thats not alot but I think a church is the one place all…read moreshould be welcomed with no fee. It was very old and nice but I've been to far more impressive churches that did not charge a fee ..I totally think they should have an area for donations. We stopped for an hour in Rothenburg on our Globus tour and we saw this large church and decided to investigate. We saw so many impressive churches on our 16 days 6 country tour ... but glad we got a chance to see them all.

Who doesn't like a high gothic church.! We stopped in here…read morejust to check it out it was free to get in and the organ was playing! It is hugh! So many beautiful carvings and pictures. This cathedral took 600 years to build and received massive damage during the war but it's beautiful today. There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance.

So happy that our tour guide stopped here and allowed us to explore Dom St. Bartholomaus freely…read moreduring our walking tour of Frankfurt. it is stunning. The church is the main church of Frankfurt. It is the largest religious building in the city and a former collegiate church. Although the English name is the Frankfurt Cathedral, it has never been an actual cathedral. Rather it is a Kaiserdom or an "imperial great church" or the Dom because of its historic role as former election and coronation church of the Holy Roman Empire. The earliest church, and an adjacent royal palace which stood on the site, was originally founded in 852. The palace itself was created in the 9th century under Louis the Pious, the son of Charlemagne. Centuries later, the Palace Church was replaced twice as the community changed. Since 1356, when the Golden Bull of 1356 was issued by Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor, emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were elected in this collegiate church as Kings of the Romans. From 1562 to 1792, emperors-elect were crowned here. When the city of Frankfurt secularized, St. Bartholomew's became the city's main church. In 1867, St. Bartholomew's was destroyed by a fire and rebuilt in its present style. During World War II, the old town of Frankfurt was devastated by bombardments of the Allied Air Forces. St. Bartholomew's suffered severe damage. The interior was burned out completely. It was restored in the 1950s. Definitely worth a stop in Frankfurt.

Nice church. Inside, white and baroque style. While the name suggests jesuite, it's a Catholic…read moreChurch. Nice to stop by while in Heidelberg. It's nearby the other large church and near the castle

Walking through the old town area of Heidelberg, you can see the reddish front of the Jesuit Church…read moredown a narrow alleyway off the pedestrian zone. Interested to know more, we wandered down the alley to a very pretty ,small 'square' of old buildings (Richard Hauser-Platz). We took a few photos of the square, then stepped inside the church. Jesuit churches I have visited in Europe have a 'light and airy' feel to them. I enjoy the 'heavy' gothic churches too, but this Baroque, white interior church is just beautiful. White columns highlighted with gold details, vaulted white arched ceilings, high windows illuminate the bright, minimally adorned interior, delicate glass chandeliers reflect light without interrupting the white expanse. The pipe organ is also lovely with gold baroque detail on the keyboard cupboard. I did not get a chance to hear the organ played, but I suspect it would be worth a visit to hear. There are a few areas along the interior walls with devotional areas which may include a painting with a table below, candles, flowers or other item. A museum is attached to the church, but we did not enter. You can easily wander around the church in a short time and be on your way again. This is an active parish, so be aware when visiting locals may be inside praying or services may be on- going. If you like Baroque style, this is definitely a stop to make. Easily accessed from the pedestrian zone (the Hauptstrasse) in the old section of town near University Platz.
