Who doesn't like a high gothic church.! We stopped in here…read morejust to check it out it was free to get in and the organ was playing! It is hugh! So many beautiful carvings and pictures. This cathedral took 600 years to build and received massive damage during the war but it's beautiful today. There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance.

So happy that our tour guide stopped here and allowed us to explore Dom St. Bartholomaus freely…read moreduring our walking tour of Frankfurt. it is stunning. The church is the main church of Frankfurt. It is the largest religious building in the city and a former collegiate church. Although the English name is the Frankfurt Cathedral, it has never been an actual cathedral. Rather it is a Kaiserdom or an "imperial great church" or the Dom because of its historic role as former election and coronation church of the Holy Roman Empire. The earliest church, and an adjacent royal palace which stood on the site, was originally founded in 852. The palace itself was created in the 9th century under Louis the Pious, the son of Charlemagne. Centuries later, the Palace Church was replaced twice as the community changed. Since 1356, when the Golden Bull of 1356 was issued by Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor, emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were elected in this collegiate church as Kings of the Romans. From 1562 to 1792, emperors-elect were crowned here. When the city of Frankfurt secularized, St. Bartholomew's became the city's main church. In 1867, St. Bartholomew's was destroyed by a fire and rebuilt in its present style. During World War II, the old town of Frankfurt was devastated by bombardments of the Allied Air Forces. St. Bartholomew's suffered severe damage. The interior was burned out completely. It was restored in the 1950s. Definitely worth a stop in Frankfurt.

Note that due to local regulations to prevent the spread of Covid-19, you must wear a mask at all times while in the building and, before entering church for a weekend Mass, you must show German "3G" documentation indicating that either you're fully vaccinated, have fully recovered from having Covid-19 with a test showing virus antibodies or have had a negative test for the coronavirus within the last day. (This applies only to the Saturday and Sunday Masses).

St. Leonhard is the only church I know in downtown Frankfurt with an English-speaking…read moreRoman-Catholic international parish. The holy mass is held every Sunday at 9:30 am in English and at 11:30 am in German. The parish is also quite busy with charity events, pilgrimage and social work. It is a great way to connect to other expats in Frankfurt away from home. Besides all the church work, the builing itself is rather small but very beautifully decorated with ancient murals and marvelous architectural details - well worth a visit.
