Here are two photos of the Frauenkirche in Dresden. I took these photos in 1995. Reconstruction was taking place even then, funded in large part, as I remember, by a state lottery. The destruction of this building (built between 1726-1743) from the firebombing of Dresden during World War II was catastrophic. The reconstruction of the exterior was completed in 2004 and the interior in 2005. The church was reconsecrated on 30 October 2005. I'm really looking forward to visiting the Frauenkirche during our tour!
