Frauenkirche

This guide to Munich's Frauenkirche starts at a scorched footprint just inside the entrance, said to belong to the devil, and the 1468 bargain master builder Jorg von Halsbach struck to fund the cathedral's towers. The devil's single condition was no windows, or the deal was off. From there the guide traces the twin brick towers as they rose over the next two decades, later crowned with onion-shaped copper domes. Look down at the mark before you go, locals still argue over whose footprint it really is.
