A Space Between History and Prayer

The Bamberg Cathedral is one of the defining sacred spaces of Franconia; its architecture, its portals, and the documented construction history tell of centuries of Christian tradition.

Masterpieces of Renown

Visitors encounter the Bamberg Rider, the imperial tomb by Tilman Riemenschneider, and the Marian altar by Veit Stoss. In the Cathedral Treasury and the Diocesan Museum, precious textiles, sculptures, and goldsmith's work unfold their special effect, making the religious experience also sensually tangible.
