St. Gangolf
Church, the city’s Market Church, is the tall tower on the south side
of the Hauptmarkt, but setting
back behind a row of buildings. St. Gangolf Church rivaled the Cathedral, the "Dom," in beauty and again, it was a bone of contention with the Prince-Bishop. He believed it effectively distracted from the Dom in the hearts and minds of the people. The doorway to St. Gangolf Church, although relatively unpretentious, is beautifully decorated but is sandwiched between two houses facing the square. As a point of reference, the entryway is the small gray and white portico lying directly behind the head of the man in the plaid shirt. |
