Cathedral, Cathedral Treasure and Cloister: A Quiet Experience of Faith in Bamberg

This public tour invites you to a special religious and cultural historical experience. In Bamberg Cathedral, in the Cathedral Treasure and in the Gothic Cloister, liturgy, art and the long tradition of faith on the Cathedral Hill come together in an impressive way.

A Journey Through the History of Faith

The tour connects architecture, spirituality and Christian art. Bamberg Cathedral was established on the initiative of the canonized Emperor couple Henry and Kunigunde and is one of the defining places of church history in Franconia. Upon entering the space, visitors experience not only stone and sculpture, but also a living heritage of faith.

Cathedral Treasure with European Radiance

In the diocesan museum and the Cathedral Treasure, visitors encounter outstanding works of sacred art. The Star Mantle, the vestment of Pope Clement II, and the large Cathedral Cross represent a spirituality that has condensed over centuries in textiles, metal, and artworks. The famous Bamberg Horseman and the works of Tilman Riemenschneider and Veit Stoß also shape the experience.
