Liebfrauenkirche, Gothic church in Trier, Germany
Liebfrauenkirche is a Gothic church in Trier featuring a distinctive circular floor plan with cross-shaped vaulting. Twelve supporting columns form the structural core, with their arrangement reflecting theological symbolism in the building's composition.
Construction began around 1230 on the foundations of a Roman double church established through Emperor Constantine's gift in 326. This rebuilding marked a transition from the ancient structure to the Gothic design that stands today.
The church displays Mary symbolism throughout its design, especially in the rose motifs that appear everywhere. These details tell visitors about the special devotion to Mary within this community.
This church sits directly beside Trier Cathedral, sharing a common wall and cloister with it. Visitors should know it remains an active place of worship where regular services take place throughout the week.
This building was the first High Gothic church constructed outside France, bringing French architectural influence to German territory. Since 1986 it has held UNESCO World Heritage status, gaining international recognition for its significance.
