A Sacred Place with Great Influence

Bamberg Cathedral was founded in the early 11th century by the canonized imperial couple Henry and Kunigunde and rebuilt in the 13th century. To this day, its clear architecture shapes the spiritual cityscape and creates a space for reflection, art, and liturgy.
