St. Lamberti Church
St. Lamberti
The late Gothic church at the northern end of Prinzipalmarkt, with three iron cages hanging from its tower, relics of 16th-century Anabaptist leaders.
This 14th–15th-century hall church has three iron cages hanging from its tower. They were used to display the leaders of the Anabaptist “Kingdom of Münster” after their execution in 1536, and they still hang there today, making this Münster's most story-rich landmark. The tower also keeps the night watchman tradition: on every night except Tuesday, the watchman sounds a horn every half hour to mark the time. Entry to the church is free, and it is a short walk from Prinzipalmarkt.
