The Liebfrauenmünster is Ingolstadt's main church and one of the finest examples of late Gothic brick architecture in Bavaria, begun in 1425 and completed in stages over the following century. The two unequal towers that flank the west facade give the church a distinctive silhouette visible from much of the old town.
The interior is large and well-lit, with a soaring nave and a collection of artworks accumulated over five centuries of civic and ecclesiastical patronage. The altarpiece by Hans Mielich is the highlight — a monumental painting of great technical skill and historical significance. The church is an active parish and holds regular masses; visits are welcomed outside service times. The plaza in front of the Münster is a pleasant lunch stop in summer, with cafes under the medieval facades.
