A Place Where Faith Becomes Visible
Bamberg Cathedral bears the marks of a long ecclesiastical tradition. It was founded by the canonized imperial couple Henry and Cunegonde in the early 11th century and rebuilt after fires in the 13th century. Architecture, sculpture, and spatial effects still tell of a deep religious experience.

In the cloister and the Diocesan Museum, further treasures of sacred art open up, including significant textiles and testimonies of medieval piety.
