A Place with a Deep History of Faith
The Bamberg Cathedral was founded in the early 11th century under the canonized imperial couple Henry and Cunegonde and was rebuilt after fires between 1200 and 1237. To this day, its clear form language, sacred architecture, and vibrant history of faith shape the unique character of this place.
