Church of Our Lady — Attraction in Trier

Absolute masterpiece! And the colors! Wow!

Did not have high expectations as the church looked like any other church in Germany, but what I saw inside took my breath away! It was probably the most impressive and colorful church I have visited. The light coming through the colored stained glass windows felt almost magical, something surreal and left a wonderful impression on me. Definitely worth visiting on a sunny day!

I did enjoy the layout, or I should say floor plan, as it has a rounded base and with the portal and altar niches built in, the floor plan resembles a rose, a symbol of the Virgin Mary. It is a compact church, absolutely perfect for ceremonies for weddings (I would love to attend one here), yet magnificent and massive in size, especially looking up at the tall vaulted ceiling. Worth noticing are also the frescoes on the columns, on each of them depicting 12 apostles.

The church is free to enter and it's worth visiting the open cloister and the Saint Peter's Cathedral next door.

Absolutely marvellous cathedral with a fort like structure but housing one of the most elegant , beautiful, artistic and well preserved interiors I have ever seen ; the place is grand and seeped in history. It has two cathedrals to start with. The more prominent and bigger one is to the left and is really massive , the interior hall is grand and has some amazing sculpture. You can go all the way the altar to see the original seamless robe of Christ. Surreal experience. The hall also has a yard that is right adjacent and has some tombs perched in a garden. extremely aesthetic setting. The smaller one is extremely modern ( checking glass panels ) , newer and very beautiful, when we went in, it had some soulful choir music playing and the way the whole setting was done , it was very touching and an ideal place to spend few mins with yourself, or God or universe or whoever you believe in. This place, with the beautiful square in front is an absolute must do if you are in this side of...

Possibly the most impressive church I have visited in my life. I laugh now as I thought this was a cathedral, but is actually the church.

We spent a good hour visiting this extraordinary church and all its many layers, trust me I’m normally the first to be out of a church, but this truly felt like a place that could make you believe in something if like me you are an atheist. I’d loved to have seen a service, I can imagine this place is just so popular. It’s clearly well loved and maintained.

There is an interesting heating system, and random construction filled with human remains. If you visit trier you simply have to visit this...
