 | Koblenz The Church of Our Lady Reviews | 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
Liebfrauenkirche / The Church of Our Lady is maybe the most beautiful church of Koblenz and it was built in the very centre of town and at the highest point of the town-centre, so it was safe from the regular floods of the rivers Rhine and Mosel. Liebfrauenkirche dates back to the 12th century. French troops had destroyed it like plenty of other buildings in the Rhine-valley, but it was rebuilt and nowadays it has a great gothic interior with white walls beautifully decorated by red bricks. From the outside you may see the great onion-towers that were added in baroque times. Leave a Comment Directions: Liebfrauenkirche / the church of Our Lady is in the very centre of Koblenz.

 Church of Our Lady by wadekorzan
The church originally had steeples, but they were burnt down by the French troops. The steeples were then replaced by the onion domes typical of the Baroque period. These onion domes became a symbol of the city and were destroyed during the bombing of WWII. When they were rebuilt in 1952/1953, it was very symbolic of hope for the locals, as it meant that the city was almost completely rebuilt.
There is a room between the 2 towers where the watchman used to sit. He would ring the bells in case of danger or in case of fire during medieval times. He would also sound the bells every night at 10 PM to signify that the city gates of the city wall were closing and that it was time to come back inside. This tradition has survived to present times, as the sounding of the bells at 10:00 PM means it is time to come home for the children.
This church is 1 of the main symbols of Koblenz! Leave a Comment
