Trier boasts a stunning 13th century gothic cathedral called the Church of Our Dear Lady or Liebfrauenkirche. The church was constructed next to and over an older Romanesque structure so it is an odd juxtaposition. Probably my favorite stop in Trier, although the hordes of people scurrying in and out of every nook and cranny detracted some from the sanctity of the place.

There are several ornate crypts within and outside of the cathedral.
I loved that gorgeous cathedral, Kim. And how I love reliving Europe through your eyes….

That was one of my favorite places in Germany. I have the same photos on an old post on my blog! 🙂
Beautiful!!!!
We were in Trier the first week of August. We couldn’t get into Liebfrauen because of construction. Prayed before the relic of St. Helen and of course, the Tunica Christi in the main Cathedral. Did you go to the grave of St. Matthew?
