st lambert's church

Beautiful structure positioned on a square in the main centre. Great spire to photograph. A must see.

This church has a long history the most fascinating that of the iconoclastic Anabaptists whose executed bodies were put in cages on the church tower. Theses can be clearly seen on the tower.

This is my favourite church/cathedral in Münster. You can read the history about the spires in other reviews - but this gives it a chilling quality and I love just looking at t during a stroll through the city at night. If you hear the night watchman blowing his horn (or know it is a her I think!) this adds to the atmosphere! Beautiful stained glass windows and organ inside - each church in the city is worth visiting inside because even though there are so many they each have their own unique feeling and characteristics. Look for the statutes of Goethe and Schiller above the closed portal on the outside! You can see replicas of the cages in the Stadtmuseum and learn more about the history there!

This church is named after the first Bischop of Münster, Lambertus.Like all other churches, it was almost wholly destroyed during the bombing campaign at the end of WW II, and rebuild from scratch.During this bombing both arms of the Jezus figure on the cross were lost, a splinter of a bomb pierced the chest of Jezus where his heart would be, this damaged figure of Jezus now adorns a new wooden cross with the text "the only hands I have are yours", quite a story, even for a non believer like me.The modern church is still quite beautiful.

I was curious about this church because of the spire with three cages at the top. Apparently after the Anabaptist revolt in the 14th century, dead bodies were displayed up there to deter other people who might want to fall foul of the authorities. Inside, the church is fairly average looking, nothing special. Recommended for its historical interest and good location.

Not only a fine church but the cages in which the Anabaptists were hung can be seen clearly hanging from the spire.(though the original are in the museum).A beautiful atmosphere inside.

The church looks amazing when viewed from beneath and stands right in between the shopping street. The 3 cages hanging at the top reminds us of the brutality that has undergone against the protestants in the previous centuries. Inside the church is equally brilliant and very peaceful.

Imposing building in center of town Has 3 cages hanging under the steeple in which bodies of people were encased, as a deterrent to different religions. Inside the cathedral, intricate stained glass windows and carved religious figures.

Bijzonder de kooien waar wederdopers in gezet werden hangen buiten aan de toren.Prachtig van binnen.

Essa igreja tem uma arquitetura magnífica e é inconfundível pela altura de sua famosa torre. Lindos vitrais.

На мой взгляд, сама церковь и та часть старого города, над которой она возвышается - самое главное, что стоит посмотреть в Мюнстере. Домики смотрятся яркими цветными игрушками под сенью огромной чёрной иглы готической колокольни, увенчанной знаменитыми мрачными клетками. Полное ощущение присутствия в средневековье!

Tive a agradável surpresa de escutar um ensaio para um concerto do órgão da igreja que iria acontecer mais tarde. Impressionante o alcance e a vibração produzidos pelo instrumento. A igreja é muito bonita e no topo da sua torre é possível observar grandes gaiolas onde os corpos de dissidentes ficavam expostos há séculos atrás.

Самое интересное - это три клетки на фасаде, в которых вывесили казненных лидеров анабаптистов, державших в ужасе целый город в течение года.

Tijdens de zaterdagen voor de adventszondagen worden er in deze kerk fantastische concerten gegeven waarbij de kerk stampvol zit. De concerten beginnen om 12.00 uur en duren ongeveer een uur. Tijdens een bezoek aan de prachtige kerstmarkt kunt u hier even uitblazen en genieten van een mooi concert. Gisteren was er een concert van het koperblazersorkest van de Universiteit van Munster dat werkelijk fantastisch klonk door de akoestiek in de kerk.

Мюнстер интересен своими романскими церквями, однако эта более "поздняя" церковь также интересна, она напомнила мне церковь в Страсбурге
