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.

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.

Full disclosure, I'm a sucker for old churches. Whenever I find myself in Europe I love to seek…read morethem out and explore to take in the art and architecture, as often in the old world churches and cathedrals housed some of the great cultural artifacts of the time. Dom St. Bartholomaus doesn't disappoint. It's a gorgeous church that's free to enter and walk around. If they are holding service you may need to wait until they are done, but it's worth it as this one is chock full of gorgeous artifacts and artworks to enjoy. If you love museums I recommend paying the very cheap entry fee - I think maybe two euros - to their small museum which is to the left as you enter. It's small, but houses some really amazing religious antiquities. Only pro tip I have is that like many church in Europe there are no public restrooms. If you're in Frankfurt there is no reason not to stop and take in this beautiful landmark!

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.
