3. Münster

Originally built in the ninth century and reconstructed and renovated many times over, this transitional-style cathedral reflects a blend of Romanesque and gothic influences. Only the original portal survived the many restorations. The portal's carved sculptures portray figures from the Old and New Testaments. The pulpit was carved from a single block of stone and dates back to 1486. An 11th-century bas-relief at the end of the south aisle is one of the highlights of the cathedral.   (© 10Best)

Wonderful example of Protestant Reformation--I particularly enjoyed seeing the tomb of one of my heroes in history--Erasmus. I also attended a beautiful Good Friday service, with a superb choral and instrumental presentation.
