Liebfrauenkirche, Catholic church in Ravensburg, Germany
The Liebfrauenkirche is a church with Gothic architectural features in Ravensburg's old town, distinguished by a prominent spire and elaborate facade details. Inside, medieval stained glass windows display biblical scenes alongside furnishings from various periods.
Construction started in the late 13th century and took about 100 years to complete. It developed as the second parish church of the city and maintained connections with a nearby abbey.
The interior features wall paintings by Gebhard Fugel from the early 1900s showing scenes from Saint Andrew's legend and the life of Jesus. These artworks continue to shape the visual experience of the church interior.
The church sits in the heart of the old town on Kirchstrasse and is easy to reach on foot. Regular services and musical performances take place there, and it is helpful to check the schedule before visiting.
The high altar houses a late Gothic carved altar from Switzerland that originally came from another church. The building also preserves a copy of a protective mantle Madonna image dating to the 15th century.
