What it is
The Frauenkirche, the Church of Our Lady, is the symbol of Dresden: its stone dome, of more than 12,000 tonnes, is called the stone bell. It was left in ruins in 1945 and rebuilt stone by stone; it was reopened in 2005. Inside it is light, in pastel tones, with galleries on several levels.
Visiting it
The church is visited during the "open church" slots, which change every day according to services and concerts: check them on its website. The climb to the dome is separate: 174 steps up to 29 metres, with windows that look into the interior, and then a spiral ramp around the dome to the platform, at 67 metres. It costs €12 (€7 reduced, €24 families). In winter it is open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00 and on Sundays and public holidays from 13:00 to 16:00; from March to October, until 18:00.
