The Dresden Frauenkirche, or Church of Our Lady, is a beautiful historic Lutheran church in Dresden, originally constructed in its current Baroque-style architectural state in the 18th century. Though it was destroyed during the bombing of Dresden in World War II, it was rebuilt beginning in 1994 following the reunification of German and completed in 2004. Today it is considered to be one of the most beautiful examples of Protestant sacred architecture in Europe, known for its spectacular dome. Though it is often referred to as a cathedral, it does not serve as the seat for a bishop for the church. Since its reopening in 2005, it has served as a major tourist destination in the Saxony region, home to an exhibition on the building's history and reconstruction. Two devotional services are held each day at the church, along with two liturgies presented each Sunday.
