The Altstadt (old town) was rebuilt after WWII to resemble its medieval predecessor, and you'll find most museums and historic attractions are here.

With a typical Gothic façade, Muenster's town hall is a mid-14th century edifice. The characteristic gable was rebuilt true to the original in the 1950s. In 2015, it was awarded the European Heritage Label as the "Site of the Peace of Westphalia", which seems to be such a well fitting name for a place like Muenster, mainly a University and residential city where the number of bicycles exceed the number of people and where the old town is beautifully surrounded by a park.

Been to a lot of churches and monasteries across Europe and this one is well worth a look. Despite the external renovations inside is immaculate and very inspired. The astronomical clock is outstanding and the structure itself very imposing. My only criticism was the beggars at the door....!!

A fantastic historical church. The iron cages up the church tower are spooky - but the history behind it is fascinating.

When we visited the church was open into the lobby, the rest of the church was fenced off with huge metal bars. But, from here it is possible to see a lot of the inside and how superbly it has been decorated. It only takes a few minutes to see, and boy it is so worth while, it's absolutely stunning.

Fascinating historc church right in heart of city. It might seem plain inside but look up the tower to the hanging baskets, and discover the grim history. I enjoyed a grand organ recital and the impressive organ is majestic and clear-toned. Start your exploration from this church, in several directions there are shops, pubs, historic buildings. A great starting point.
