St Dionys Cathedral - Great Attractions (Germany)
  • 13 years ago
Take a tour of St Dionys Cathedral in Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

The granoise St. Dionys Cathedral stands in the heart of the southern city of Esslingen, Germany.

This church is a combination of three structures which date to the 13th and 14th centuries, and were built up the foundation of an earlier 8th century church.

The two towers were originally separate churches, now joined together by an elevated bridge.

The bridge was constructed in order to save the leaning southern tower from falling.

The multi-faceted brick colors give the structure depth and help them to glisten in the warm rays of the sun.

A striking feature of the city’s skyline, the Parish Church of St. Dionys stands as a testament of Esslingen’s architectural and religious prowess.
