Liebfrauenkirche, Gothic church in Trier, Germany
The Liebfrauenkirche features a round floor plan with cross-shaped vaulting and twelve supporting columns representing the Twelve Apostles and Articles of Faith.
Construction of the church began around 1230 on the foundations of a Roman double church that had been established through Emperor Constantine's endowment in 326.
The architectural design incorporates rose symbolism throughout the structure, representing the Virgin Mary through intricate geometric patterns and spatial arrangements.
The church stands adjacent to Trier Cathedral, sharing a common wall and cloister, and remains an active place of worship with regular religious services.
This structure represents the first French High Gothic style church built outside France, earning recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage monument in 1986.
