| Germany was the heart of the Protestant Refomation. This Catholic-turned-Lutheran Church in Dresden, with its large dome, is considered an outstanding example of Protestant sacred architecture. The church was built in the Baroque style, but was heavily damaged in bombing raids in World War II. It remained in ruins for 40 years until reconstruction began in the 1990s. Reconstruction took more than a decade, and more than 180 million Euros. Charred bricks from the original structure were combined with new stones in reconstruction, as a symbolic melding of old and new; past and present. The church was rebuilt using the original plans from 1726. The rebuilt church features one of the largest domes in Europe. The dome is 96 meters high, and is called the Stone Bell. Visitors can climb to the dome for a stunning view of Dresden’s city centre. |
