This building was destroyed in WW2 and has been reconstructed beautifully. It's amazing to see. There is nothing much inside. More

The mingling of old stone and new make the church that much more interesting. The church is beautiful and a testament to the resiliency of Dresden. Definitely worth a stop to see the inside and read about. More

I climbed the tower of the frauenkirche in Dresden (about half the distance is travelled by lift). The view from the top is spectacular, taking in all the sights of Dresden, but I felt €8 was a bit expensive. More

All people told us to go here. The interior as well as exterior were looking nice. Furthermore, it has to be respected that it was rebuilt after being destroyed after the fierce bombing in WWII. It must be said that the place is a little too touristic and valued, than that it actually deserves. When looking bluntly, it's no better... More

This Protestant Church was obliterated in the massive bombing that destroyed much of Dresden toward the end of World War II. Its ruins stood as a kind of memorial in the middle if the central square for 58 years. Finally, with the fall of Communism, a group of people decided to rebuild to the original design.
