　　This sometimes engaging chronicle of 1200 years of Münster milestones includes a room on the Anabaptist rebellion where you can see the once-red-hot tongs used to torture Jan van Leyden and his unlucky colleagues before their execution. Another highlight is the collection of town models showing how the city grew and changed from the 16th century onward.

Must-see attractions

LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur

St Lambertikirche

They once displayed the corpses of Anabaptist ringleader Jan van Leyden and two of his cohorts who...

　　The two massive towers of Münster’s cathedral match the proportions of this 110m-long structure and the vast square it overlooks. It’s a three-nave construction built in the 13th century, when Gothic architecture began overtaking the Romanesque style in popularity.
