A Place Where Faith Breathes History

The Bamberg Cathedral traces back to the canonized imperial couple Henry and Kunigunde and was begun in the early 11th century; after fires, it was rebuilt between 1200 and 1237. The clear design language, the famous Bamberg Rider, as well as works by Tilman Riemenschneider and Veit Stoß shape the sacred framework of this tour.
