Frauenkirche (Munich Cathedral)

The twined onion- domed spires of Munich's late Gothic cathedral are one of the well known symbols of the city. The cathedral was designed by Joerg von Halspach and built between 1468 and 1488. The towers where finished in 1524. Many treasure are inside the church including stained glass from the 14^th and 15^th century. The choir sits among carved wooden busts of prophets and saints which were carved in 1502.

The Devil's footprint

A celebrated fable relates that the cathedral architect made a pact with the devil, who supplied funds on condition that the building would have n visible windows. On completing his work, the architect took the devil to a point where no window was in view. The devil stamped his foot in rage and departed, leaving the mark you can see to this day.
