The most striking Gothic monument of Munster is the church of St. Lambert. If you look at its tower, you can see three small cells attached to it. In the 16th century, they were used for the execution of Anabaptists. The church is closely surrounded by other historical buildings, so it is not easy to find it for uninformed tourists.
One of the most interesting places for walking in Münster is the Prinzipalmarkt famous for its beautiful Renaissance buildings. Each of such buildings has its own unique facade with original ornaments. Some buildings are decorated with old coats of arms, while on the other facades you can see beautiful sculptural compositions. The ground floors of many historic buildings often accommodate popular shops, restaurants, and cafes.
One of the city's oldest buildings is the Church of Our Lady, the construction of which began back in 1040. This church founded by representatives of the noble women's convention housed a small boarding school where young ladies could receive an education. The historic church is still functioning.
