The city government building - it has changed hands between France and Germany many times.
This was the official headquarters of the Jacobites.
The roof contains many small windows in the attic. This area was used for a living area in the times of the plague to provide a bit of space between the residents of the building and the chaos of the streets.
The doors of the cathedral are only partially used today. As you can see, the red portion of the door is no longer in use.

Stained glass windows with freat detail
The left side of the cathedral was added to until the 1800s
William in the front of the cathedral. On the way home on the plane, we watched Sherlock Holmes 2 and William immediately noticed that this is the same view as the opening scene of the movie when the cathedral is "blown up" in an effort to start another war between Germany and France.
Your pictures are so amazing! The cathedral is beautiful!! and so is the stain glassed windows! It is so neat to see different parts of Europe through your wonderful pictures, Ms. Husk.(: Take me with you. ;)
