What to expect
The Frauenkirche is a Lutheran church in Dresden, Germany, and an outstanding example of Protestant sacred architecture. It features one of the largest domes in Europe and is considered a symbol of reconciliation between former warring enemies. The church was originally built as a sign of the will of the citizens of Dresden to remain Protestant after their ruler had converted to Catholicism. It was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt between 1994 and 2005. The Frauenkirche is often called a cathedral, but it is not the seat of a bishop. The church offers various events and activities, including concerts and Anglican Evensong services in English
