Würzburg. Neumünster

Neumünster Church in Würzburg was built in the 11th century. It is a large Baroque building with a huge dome and sandstone façade which was added in the 18th century. Inside are many works of art, such as the 15th century Man of Sorrow, and a Madonna. Parts of a former cloister remain in a quiet courtyard. People buried here include St. Kilian, St. Kolonat, St. Totnan, and Walther von der Vogelweide. The skulls of the three saints are carried in a procession each year by theological students from the crypt to Würzburg Dom.

A neat composition, Jose. Such an interesting old church, wonderful detail in this scene.

I am fascinated with the very clear details as I look closely at the various features and sculpture around this church...you have framed it well to focus the eye beyond the buildings at the side...V

Wonderfully composed. A striking contrast of the new and the old.

What a beautiful facade...the newer structures flanking each side enhance the church greatly
