Lonely Planet review for Thomaskirche
The composer Johann Sebastian Bach worked in the Thomaskirche as a cantor from 1723 until his death in 1750, and his remains lie buried beneath a bronze epitaph near the altar. The Thomanerchor, once led by Bach, is still going strong and now includes 100 boys aged eight to 18. The church tower can be climbed at weekends (€2).
