A cathedral with power, history, and clear form language
The Bamberg Cathedral was initiated by the canonized imperial couple Henry and Kunigunde in the early 11th century and was rebuilt after fires between 1200 and 1237. Its architecture, the Bamberg Rider, as well as the works of Tilman Riemenschneider and Veit Stoß characterize the tour with outstanding radiance.

Treasures that you won’t forget
In the cathedral treasure and at the diocesan museum, guests encounter extraordinary testimonies of medieval art: the star mantle from the 11th century, the vestment of Pope Clement II, and the largest preserved Ottonian cross. Additionally, there are goldsmith works, original portal figures of the cathedral, and other treasures that make the cultural wealth of the cathedral hill palpable.
