I only saw the inside and it was in the winter and at night, but I would love to come back in spring or summer during the day when the gardens are in bloom and it's bright out, as well as when it's open so I can go inside too. This city didn't have any tourists from what I could see at the time so it was definitely good if you want to experience a small German city with not a lot of English influence. It's located not too far from Köln in Nordrhein Westphalia.

The spire is uniquely twisted and while I've only seen one like this in Chesterfield https://www.yelp.com/biz/parish-church-of-st-mary-and-all-saints-chesterfield, this was apparently unintentional. After a fire in 1815, they rebuilt it with fresh wood that was too fresh and then after the damage of WWII, it was rebuilt twisted at the request of the parishoners. And in 1974, the church "promoted" papal minor basilica by Pope Paul VI. As a parish church, the church is dedicated to St. Lambertus, a martyr who was murdered in Liège in 705. The interior of the church is amazing and a reminder that no one builds churches quite like the Catholics. Well worth a visit, even if this isn't your particular religion.

Our guide said one legend has it that it twisted when a young couple were asked by the priest if they were coming pure to the marriage and they lied, but the more prosaic truth is that there was a mistake when the spire was built. On the cold December day when I was visiting, I ducked in while the guide was speaking in German, and found it a warm and holy refuge. There were some postcards of the church and the Christ cross available for 30 cents each, as well as info pamphlets in a variety of languages. The warm and mellow brick of the building is a giveaway to its medieval origins and it's a spiritual place to take a break and rest up. Yelp 243/ 2018
