Celebrating Dresden's Frauenkirche
"A magnificent new building."
That's what one Dresden visitor called the Frauenkirche shortly after its completion in 1743. More than two and a half centuries later and 60 years after the church's destruction, the city will celebrate its resurrection with a consecration service on Sunday.
After more than a decade of construction and millions of euros in private donations, the "stone bell" once again towers over the city's skyline.
