Münster's Lamberti church photos.

Wikipedia article on Münster and the St. Lamberti church.
I've loved this church as long as I can remember. To me, it's a symbol for Münster and the beautiful architecture you find there. It's a gothic church, with an insane amount of details. That's why I've uploaded larger versions of these photos, please do view them because they're amazing (not that my photography skills are amazing, but the details on the church I mean).
If I ever marry in a church, which I'm not that keen on, because I consider myself a non-christian and marrying in a church then would be hypocritical, but if I ever do marry in a church, it'll be this one. That would mean I'd have to convert to catholisism first, and accept all the crazy catholic things, but I love this church so much I would do it.




This is the "Prinzipalmarkt", the one the zoo made a mock up of. It's an experience in itself, walking down here. You can also see the size of the Lamberti church. And it's not even the largest church in Münster. They have so many churches, all in a walking radius. Münster is worth visiting simply to see all the gothic and romanesque churches.

Side view. My Oma lived in one of the houses in the back here when she was a kid.



Make sure to check out the larger version of this. Insane, I tell you!



Cages in the tower where they put the anabaptists (see Wikipedia article). As a kid, I always imagined seeing bones up there. Of course, it didn't help that Oma ept agreeing that, "certainly, there are bones up there, heretics' bones!".



Last one for now. This illustrates the whole idea with these gigantic churces, stretching upwards toward Heaven.


So... this was the short version of my holiday. I hope you enjoyed it!
