The Church of Our Lady
A fourteenth-century church with a finely carved doorway, quiet and free to enter.
Liebfrauenberg is a small, quiet square in Frankfurt's shopping district, holding the fourteenth-century Church of Our Lady, run today by Capuchin friars. The church is small and free to enter, and inside it is surprisingly calm even though the busy shopping street is metres away. At the centre of the square stands an eighteenth-century fountain with small figures. The square is also known as a place where the friars serve food to those in need every day, a work that has gone on for decades. It is a good spot to rest for a few minutes between shopping and walking.

It is not a headline sight, but it makes an excellent break if you are shopping in the area or walking between sights. The church is worth five minutes for its unexpected calm.
Yes — entry is free and it is open most of the day, closing to visitors during services. All that is asked is quiet and modest dress, as in any working church.
The Zeil shopping street is a minute away, and Römerberg and the old town five minutes' walk south. The square lies on the route between them.
