Regensburg's Sacred Spaces

Regensburg's religious landscape spans over a millennium, featuring architectural styles from Romanesque to Expressionism. This collection highlights the city's significant spiritual sites, including the twin-spired Gothic St. Peter's Cathedral, the opulent Rococo interior of the Alte Kapelle, and the historic Benedictine complexes of St. Emmeram and the Scots Monastery. Beyond the medieval center, the list explores diverse places of worship, from the Neupfarrkirche—built on the site of the former Jewish quarter—to modern parish churches and quiet suburban chapels.
