Dominikanerkirche

The Dominikanerkirche is a baroque church building in Münster featuring a sandstone facade with doric columns arranged across two levels and an octagonal dome. The structure rises to approximately 29 meters (95 feet) in height, forming a notable part of the city skyline.

The church was constructed between 1705 and 1725 under architect Lambert Friedrich Corfey and originally served as part of a Dominican monastery. Following secularization in 1811, its function changed and it eventually adapted to contemporary uses.

The church displays contemporary art installations inside, including mirrored glass panels that scatter light throughout the interior. These modern pieces exist in harmony with the baroque architectural details surrounding them.

The building is located at Salzstrasse 10 in a central area of the city and is easily accessible. Access to the interior is available several days each week, making it convenient for visiting.

Three historic bells hang in the north tower, including one cast in 1670 that still rings today. This ancient bell has marked the time in Münster for over 350 years.
