Dom St. Bartholomaus doesn't disappoint. It's a gorgeous church that's free to enter and walk around. If they are holding service you may need to wait until they are done, but it's worth it as this one is chock full of gorgeous artifacts and artworks to enjoy. If you love museums I recommend paying the very cheap entry fee - I think maybe two euros - to their small museum which is to the left as you enter. It's small, but houses some really amazing religious antiquities. Only pro tip I have is that like many church in Europe there are no public restrooms. If you're in Frankfurt there is no reason not to stop and take in this beautiful landmark!

During our visit, a small Christmas market was situated around the church, so it was festive and full of Christmas cheer. You cannot miss the church since it is monstrous in size. The front doors are gorgeous and intricate. Once you enter, the organ music greets you and gives such an inviting feeling. This church is an Architect's dream, with high columns and beautiful statues. Towards the rear of the church, you will find an area to light a candle in memory. Please be sure to pay for the candle and contribute with the small money box. Highly recommend visiting this church- it is breathtaking!

Die Elisabethkirche zu Marburg (frühere Kathedrale) ist die schönste Kirche der Stadt, gut…read morezugänglich gelegen in weniger als 10 Minuten Gehentfernung vom Marburger Bahnhof und wiederum etwa 10 Minuten entfernt von der historischen Altstadt (Hochstadt). Es handelt sich um eine der ältesten gotischen Kirchen des Landes und beeindruckt - zumindest zur Zeit, da der Altarraum renoviert wird - va durch ihr Äußeres, inklusive des stilechten Nebengelasses. Die Kirche ist tagsüber frei zugänglich, lediglich der Zugang zum Kirchenschatz kostet €1 Zutritt, man schlängelt sich durch die Baustelle. Kirchenbesucher müssen nach Eintritt zunächst schon genau hinschauen um zu erkennen, dass der Altarbereich eine gemalte Abtrennung ist. Das ist gut gemacht. Das Interieur der Kirche ist ansonsten sehr protestantisch, also eher schlicht, abgesehen von zwei Triptycha zur rechten Hand vom Eingang gesehen. Besucher der Stadt wollen ja sowieso zum Landgrafenschloss und zur Altstadt, die Kirche liegt also quasi auf dem Weg!
