Dresden: Frauenkirche (Ladies Church)


I just read an email fordwaded from a friend of mine, the top 77 world wonders. This church is ranked No. 40. so no surprise when I tell u it is one of the most important buildings of Dresden from both architecture and spirit wise. It was built in early 18th century but somehow was destroyed during WWII. However everything was restored and reconstructed; it's almost 99 percent completed. If you enlarge this photo you can see that they have used a few of the original darkened stones in the reconstruction, along with a lot of new lighter-colored ones.
