The Gothic Church of our Lady, Frauenkirche, was built in the late 1400s, and has unique domelike features atypical of European churches (inspired, in fact, by the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, which in turn hailed from late Byzantine architecture).

| The legend goes that the Devil made a deal with the builder that the church was supposed to have no windows. The builder erected a series of columns so that the windows were obscured to the devil. When the devil found out, he furiously stomped his feet, leading to a devil's footstep seen to this day, and created the strong winds that still rage outside the church |
