The original Romanesque Church erected around 1000, with a later gothic vault, still forms the core of the building, upon which Anton Landes (1712-1764) lavished the beautiful stucco decoration we see today. The church is closed except for services, but Landes' work clan be seen through the protective grill. In the main church the style is white, highlighted with gold leaf, which gets more elaborate the closer it gets to the high altar. The walls and ceilings have fresco panels depicting biblical stories and the lives of saints. The side chapel is open for prayer and decorated in white, pink and gold, the overall impression reminding one of icing on a wedding cake.

For me the Old Chapel is the most beautiful church in Ratisbon! I often had the pleisure to…read morecelebrate masses and choir concerts in this wonderful chapel. It was always great to explore the marvelous pictures and golden sculptures. The Old Chapel is not as impressive as the Cathedral St. Peter, which is not far from here but it is at least as beautiful as it. If you will visit the Cathedral you should really visit the Old Chapel as well because it's just a way of 100-200 metres and it's really worth it! It's really a must see!

This charming small church, in the shadow of the Cathedral, is the collegiate church of St. Johann…read morein Regensburg. Founded as part of the Collegiate Abbey of St. John in 1127, and dedicated to both St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist, the present building is the third in the site. The original Church was removed to make way for the western extension of the Cathedral, and a Gothic Church was built on the present site. This was remodelled in the baroque style in the 1760s but was destroyed by fire in 1887. It was reconstructed in a restrained neo-baroque style and reconsecrated in 1890. The present Church has a single nave and sanctuary without any internal division: the high altar has a painting of the baptism of Christ by Johann Nepomuk Schöpf (1769).

C N's review pretty much covered it. Martinskirche (might be St. Martin's in your guidebook) is a…read morespectacular gothic church, open for walking around. And, if there are locals around, they all seem very happy to tell you about it. A note on the "highest brick church tower on earth" -- I think it's the highest one that isn't reinforced with steel...

Very beautiful, light, late gothic church, which is worth taking some time for sightseeing or even…read morea guided visit. As the City of Landshut was not hit by allied bombs in WWII, the church is entirely and originally old besides the common rehabilitations and renovations. One can't eventually tell it from looking at it, but it truely is the highest brick-church-tower on earth. This is not the only reason why it is a pity that one cannot climb the tower, because the inner roof structure and the belfry are very beautiyful as well. Fortunately the Burg Trausnitz only some meters distant offers the longed for sight over the historic city and the hinterland at same level. As well beautiful and always a welcome relief from shopping in the city are the organ recitals that take place in St. Martin every saturday just before noon for free!

Visited their Christmas market while touring the grounds of the palace and gift shop. Unfortunately…read morethe tours are on German only and you're required to have a guided tour so we missed out on that. The Christmas market was also the only one we had to pay to get into in the dozens of markets we visited. This was my favorite market though. The decor, the quieter pace, they have cabins on site you can rent, vendors on site. The place was absolutely magical and a must see while in Germany.
