C'est étonnant comme cette cathédrale est différente selon qu'on soit à l'extérieur ou à l'intérieur. Malgré ses dimensions relativement modestes, la couleur sombre de la pierre, mêlée à un style goth... more »

It's amazing how this Cathedral is different depending on whether you are outside or inside. Despite its relatively small size, color dark stone, mixed in a Gothic style, at once austere and amazing wealth, give an impression of immensity inside the building. Don't hesitate to attend a mass: the music is of high quality. The songs are startling beauty. The organs are often accompanied by high level soloists. Also very beautiful stained glass.

A Gothic Catholic Church, it has some events (e.g. concerts) at some special time of the year. On some days, there are people selling veggies, flower, food, wood craft etc in front of Münster. Also there are some bars around to enjoy sunny day

Located in the heart of Freiburg im Breisgau, the Münsterplatz has a view of both the towering cathedral, and sprawling hills of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald). In the mornings and early afternoons the Platz is filled with a dazzling array of goods sold by local vendors (a real open-air market), and in the evenings there is usually music played and the pigeons and people and smells make for a surreal experience.
