Konstanz Minster or Konstanz Cathedral
In German: Das Konstanzer Münster Unserer Lieben Frau
The first mention of a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary dates back to 615. Over the years, it underwent several upgrades and eventually became a cathedral. However, in 1052, the cathedral collapsed. A new cathedral was subsequently constructed on the same site. Throughout the next 300 years, a tower was built, followed by another. Tragically, a fire destroyed a tower and parts of the church, as well as 96 houses. Despite this setback, the tower was rebuilt, and the church was expanded. In 1955, Pope Pius XII elevated the cathedral to the status of a papal basilica minor.
