Frauenkirche and the View From the Rathaus

I decided to actually go inside the Frauenkirche last weekend, which is the cool looking church in the Altstadt (old city) of Dresden.

The Frauenkirche was totally destroyed near the end of WWII when the allies firebombed Dresden. It was rebuilt in 2006. That's why it looks so new. The black bricks you see are the pieces from the original building.


The inside is quite spectacular.


This is the basement of the Frauenkirche.
I also decided to get a view from above from the Rathaus (city hall) tower.
