Sylke’s view on the outsideA visit to Hildesheim. City of churches, two of them UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The first church we visited was the Basilica St. Godehard which is a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture (which I seem to love). I’m surprised this is not among the UNESCO world heritage sites.
Then there was the Mariendom (St Mary’s) with its 1000-year-old rose. There was plenty to see and it rightfully is part of the UNESCO list.
Wherever we looked we would see buildings that spoke of a religious past but not all of them were churches.
Another fine building inside and out was St. Michael’s (the second UNESCO listed church) which often looks just wonderful in the afternoon sun sitting there on its tiny hill.
The last one was St. Andreas but we couldn’t find an open door so I have no idea about its inner beauty.
