Münster Day 2.3

After our break we went by the public library building, a modern building in the old town. Next to that was the Krameramtshaus - the original seat of the merchants guild and one of the oldest guild houses and where the Dutch emissaries stayed during the negotiations of the Peace of Westphalia.

Then on to St Lamberti church where Cardinal von Galen (the Lion from Münster) preached his sermons criticizing the Nazis! The inside was more simple, but the windows behind the alter were very busy! And everyone was very impressed with the ladder inside (which is also on the outside spire and you can see it in the photos from yesterday).

The last two stops were an old cloister (now a registry office) and Zwinger - an old military outpost that was converted by the gestapo to a jail for political prisoners. This was also in the park where the city walls were.

All in all today was a pretty good day! Gorgeous weather (though it did start getting cold by the last church as it started getting windy and the wind was cold!), lots of fun churches to spy on, sing good food and drinks, and it was really nice. This was a stop because a friend had recommended it as he came here last year and I’m glad we stopped to check out Münster!Okumaya devam et
