The Frauenkirche on Frauenplatz in Munich was designed by Jörg von Halsbach, with arches by Heinrich von Straubing, for Duke Sigismund and the people of Munich. Construction began in 1468, and the church was consecrated in 1494. The article dates the towers' completion to 1488 in one place, and the infobox gives 1524 for completion while the text gives 1525.
The text calls the style Late Gothic, while the infobox says Gothic Renaissance for the domes. The church is red brick. It is 358 feet (109 m) long, 131 feet (40 m) wide and 121 feet (37 m) high.
In 1919 the church was declared a revolutionary temple. It suffered severe damage in World War II, and the final restoration was in 1994. It is a Catholic cathedral and the seat of the Archbishop. The south tower is open by stairs or elevator, and the article gives no hours.
