Dominican Church

The construction of the present church of Saint-Lambert took 150 years, from 1375 to 1525. It is a late Gothic building inspired by Cologne Cathedral and St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. The building was restored in the second half of the 19th century and after the Second World War due to war damage. After the Anabaptist riots in the 1530s, the Anabaptist leaders of Münster were tortured and executed, their bodies hung in three iron baskets on the church tower. The baskets were removed in 1881 during the renovation and reattached in 1898. In 1927 they were restored.

St. Paul's Cathedral was built between 1225 and 1264, a period of transition in the history of architecture between Romanesque and Gothic art. The cathedral was largely destroyed during the Second World War. The astronomical clock, as well as the series of apostles, epitaphs, altars and choir chapels miraculously escaped destruction. After the war, the cathedral was rebuilt identically.

St. Elisabeth Church in Münster, built in 1939 and rebuilt after destruction during World War II, showcases distinct architectural features such as its basilica layout, coffered ceiling, and a notable Pentecost mosaic. Its repurposing into a gymnasium and the construction of additional buildings reflect a commitment to preserving its legacy while meeting the evolving needs of the community.
