West Front

View of the west front on a foggy February evening. The twin west towers are repaired Romanesque originals but the facade with its circle of windows is a controversial post-war replacement of the 1950s. The decision not to rebuild it faithful to the original was made by the bishop, who persisted in his decision despite many letters of protest from Münster's citizens.
