Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This Roman Catholic Gothic church was built in the heart of the old city. The cathedral is very well-conserved and shows many ancient masterpieces. His location is fairly easy to find because its impressive 95-meter tower and spire dominate the city skyline. In its internal, there is a magnificent pipe organ and a composition of the Jesus Christ crucifixion. It surely deserves a visit, especially during the summer, its freshness will surprise you.

    This church was built on the site of the old Staufen chapel in 1290, For a long time it was in the shadow of the cathedral as a daughter church of the monastery of St. Bartholomew, but gradually its importance for Frankfurters grew in parallel with the growing importance of Roemerberg in relation to the Cathedral Square. The construction of new altars and the reconstruction of the church was already at the expense of the citizens of the city and the city council. All this stopped with the Reformation, in which Frankfurt sided with the Protestants. In 1530, Catholic Mass and church services in Frankfurt were abolished. The Church of St. St. Nicholas was closed, the altars were demolished in 1543. After the Peace of Augsburg in 1548, the cathedral was returned to Catholics, and the Nikolaikirche remained closed for services and was used as an archive, warehouse and God knows what else... After more than a century and a half, the Nikolaikirche was re-consecrated in 1721 after restoration as an evangelical one. Actually, this can be seen from the modest interior. The church looks about the same as in the XVI century. Surprisingly, the terrible British bombing of 1943-44, which turned almost the whole of Frankfurt into ruins in general and the Old City in particular, did not affect the church much. Only the roof burned down, which is not much in terms of the scale of destruction of other buildings. So the church is the little that remains of the real old Roemerberg.

    I had never intended to visit church. But the church is just across Romerberg so it was convenient. There is nothing much to see inside as it just tells you how the church was reconstructed.

    This is not a must do but given it’s convenient location, you can consider popping by when you are at Romerberg.

    It is a Catholic church built in Gothic style in 1344. It was destroyed and rebuilt after the WWII.

    The interior of the church was very beautiful and the alter had many nice carvings and statues. There was a small courtyard on the side and it was quiet and serene too.

    Lovely church that is visible from the River Main. The Gothic style draws your attention to it. The stained glass is beautiful to see as well.

    This Protestant Church is in front of the busy Haupwatche. The stained glass inside is beautiful. You can also catch the amazing organ performance.

    We arrived on a very cold January afternoon about 3.30pm. Walked up to the church which we initially thought was closed but after pushing open an enormous wooden door we found ourselves inone of the oldest buildings in Frankfurt Main and one of the oldest in Germany. This Catholic basilica originates from around 830. The church is well preserved and is of national importance. We only had a brief visit since the church closed at 4pm. The guide spoke good English and we were the only visitors. There is a beautiful stained glass window at one end of the church where the opposite end is taken up with a huge organ which is used for concerts. CD's of the performances of the choir and organ concerts can be purchased in the church.

    This lovely church sits adjacent to the river on the city side but doesn't fascinate in any way from the outside. However, once inside it's simplistic appeal is fascinating with it's beautiful modern brickwork and a majestic altar. It has three stained glass windows with a high designed ceiling and a truly wonderful centre stage structure.
    A very pleasant surprise!

    While cycling through Frankfurt, we met this lovely and impressive church in the west end. A giant colourful statue of Our Lady covers the entrance. But to get in, you need to go to the right and enter the peaceful courtyard. The real entrance is at the end, next to the house of the concierge. Inside, there's a wonderful mixture of modernism, bauhaus and expressionism. The circles on the ceiling and the columns in the crypt are really unusual. The baptistery is entirely different and very light with a subtle image of a pelican. A must for lovers of modernist architecture and interior design of that period.

    Next to the icon museum,so easy to find otherwise you might miss this place of calm. Worth taking 15 minutes break from busy rush around city,provides a good reset to life. Some interesting elements to the building.

    St Bonifatiuskirche is not a spectacular looking church but it is very pleasing on the eye looking church.
    We were heading to the Sachsenhausen district and jumped off the tram to go to a few taverns when we spotted this huge church down a side street and what a great find.
    Built in the 1920's this church escaped the war relatively unscathed,the very striking clock face and tower look cool ,and we took a few photos of the church before moving on.
    The church is really easy to locate on Holbeinstraße.
    Well worth checking out.
