Augsburg entdecken

St. Anne's Church is a medieval parish church in Augsburg, built from 1321 as the church of a Carmelite priory and Lutheran since 1548. Its Fugger Chapel, added from 1518 as a burial chapel for the Fugger merchant family, is one of the earliest Renaissance structures north of the Alps and has remained Catholic ever since.

Augsburg Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral dedicated to the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, with a Romanesque core consecrated in 1065 and Gothic additions from the 14th century. Its twin west towers rise 62 metres, and the building stands on a site with church foundations recorded back to the 9th century.

The Basilica of Saints Ulrich and Afra is a Gothic church in Augsburg's old town, built on the site of the Roman tomb of Saint Afra, martyred in 304. Its green onion-domed bell tower became a model for Baroque towers across Bavaria, and the Renaissance interior holds three large 16th-century altars.
