Trier Churches


Off the market square there are two impressive churches. The one of the left is the Trier Cathedral and the one on the right is the newer Church of Our Lady. The Trier Cathedral dates back to around 200 AD. The Our Lady church dates to the Middle Ages. The Cathedral has a glass box on display is purported to carry the tunic of Jesus that was gambled away at the cross.






Behind the two churches there is a lovely, quiet abby and gardens.













St. Gangolf Church on the town square is newer.










One church I have been to many times but never photographed is a Protestant church that was originally Constantine's throne room. It is quite impressive. I'll need to take photos and post a blog on it another time. We live only 1/2 an hour's drive from Trier.
