Andreaskirche

The art-lovin' Price Elector of Düsseldorf, Johan Wilhelm, who reigned from 1679 to 1716, lies buried in this huge, white and gold, early baroque style church. Inside there is twenty two life-size sculptures of the apostles and other biblical figures. It's hugely popular for its noon sermons and night time organ concerts.
