 brendareed Says:  This late-Gothic style church stands tall in the center of the walled town of Dinkelsbühl. It was built in 1448-49 and is considered one of the most beautiful hall churches in southern Germany. The inside of the church was worth a walkthrough with several altars and... 

 Maryimelda Says:  The Segringer Gate was very badly damaged by the Swedes in the mid 17th century. Not long after, it fell to the ground and had to be rebuilt literally from the ground up. The builder was the Italian Antonio Don and he rebuilt the tower in 1655 in Baroque style. There are...
