Freiburg Minster, Gothic cathedral in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The Freiburg Minster reaches a height of 116 meters and features a stone tower that defines the architectural profile of the city center.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1200 under Berthold V, Duke of Zähringen, initially in Romanesque style before transitioning to Gothic architecture in 1230.
The cathedral maintains 19 bells weighing 25 tonnes, including the Hosanna bell from 1258, which rings during important city celebrations.
The cathedral opens daily for visitors who can explore the interior, climb the tower for city views, and attend religious services.
The lead anchors connecting sections of the spire protected the structure during the 1944 bombing raids, allowing it to remain standing while surrounding buildings fell.
