The highest cathedral in Munich, above which it is forbidden to build buildings in the city (referendum decision of 2004). Frauenkirche is associated with many legends.
According to one of them, the architect made a deal with the devil so that he would not interfere with the construction. In exchange for this, the devil was promised not to build windows in the cathedral. And indeed, having come to accept work, the devil did not see the windows. But how could this happen? Everything is very simple. The central hall of the cathedral is cut through by two rows of octagonal columns. It is due to this arrangement that the side windows of the church are not visible to visitors stopping at the entrance. Realizing that he had been deceived, the devil stamped his foot (or hoof? : ) in annoyance. Yes, he stomped so hard that he left a mark in the stone! This place even has its own name - Teufelstritt or "damn trail".
Entrance to the cathedral is free.
