Frankfurt Cathedral

Gothic architecture at its finest, I couldn’t get enough of any view of Frankfurt that includes this amazing cathedral! The interior is not as impressive, but still beautiful. In the entrance you ‘ll also read about the church and old town during WWII, so interesting. I don’t know if any visits up the tower are permitted, but I ‘ll love to climb up there next time I’m in Frankfurt! Very iconic cathedral - due to its importance as a former election and coronation church of the Holy Roman Empire. Built with red dark stone, this 95 meters tall building is a major dominant of ''old'' Frankfurt. The interior is decorated with a beautiful shade of red that is not so typical for cathedrals and that is what makes this place quite unique in my eyes. There are some nice pieces of art, furniture and decorations, although it is quite a simple building, and there are definitely more impressive cathedrals around Germany. I appreciated the stained glass windows with pastel colors and I was impressed by the floorplan of the cathedral, as it is as wide as long, which I didn't notice until I was walking inside the transepts. Cathedral (Dom) is wheelchair accessible and located just a few meters from the U-Bahn stop of the same name. The entry is free, however there is a museum located in the other part of the cathedral and requires purchasing a ticket. Great addition to the cathedral tour is the climb to its tower and seeing the Frankfurt skyline! Interesting fact: It was pretty much the last standing building after the 1944 bombarding of Frankfurt - that and more you can read at the entrance to the cathedral.
