Wonder if the Cathedral has a high altar?


High altar, Regensburg's Alte Kapelle


You can view more images of the interior via babelfish translations beginning at Station I, Appointment History, then clicking on the icons within the church diagram on the left hand side of the page, or by clicking on the 'To the next station of the guidance' link at the bottom right.

The Cathedral has a high altar, but not the original. It is a beautiful gothic treasure. And not many tourists. The spires are gorgeous but were only complete a hundred years ago!

The front door area is beautiful and highly ornamented, but has been scafolded and behind wooden walls for 3 years, so I am anxious to see it now that they removed it, restored, for Papa's visit!

We like to go to Mass with the amazing boys choir and then cross the street for Sunday brunch in a 500 year old gothic dining room.

Seeing the entrance completed will be a nice treat.

Every inch of this has been freshly restored and gilded for Papa.

Not my style, but you can tell when something is exceptionally well-done even if it does not suit your own personal taste!
