Freiburg Minster is the cathedral of Freiburg im Breisgau, southwest Germany. Construction began in the late Romanesque style, but Gothic ideas prevailed. The architecture is characterized by wide flying buttresses and Gothic bays.With its lacy spires, cheeky gargoyles and intricate entrance portal, Freiburg’s 11th-century minster cuts an impressive figure above the central market square. It has dazzling kaleidoscopic stained-glass windows that were mostly financed by medieval guilds and a high altar with a masterful triptych. Square at the base, the tower becomes an octagon higher up and is crowned by a filigreed 116m-high spire.
