Dresden, Germany: Frauenkirche/Church of Our Ladies; things to do

Frauenkirche/Church of Our Ladies  

M-F 10-12 & 1-6; services on Sun at 11 & 6.

Located in the heart of the Old Town, this 18th-century sandstone church with magnificent Baroque dome was completely destroyed in World War II. The Frauenkirche/Church of Our Ladies has been rebuilt exactly as it was, using more than 100,000 of its original stones. The peace bell rings daily at noon in invitation to pause for just a moment and pray for peace.
