A Cathedral with a Great History

Bamberg Cathedral was founded by the canonized imperial couple Heinrich and Kunigunde in the early 11th century. After several fires, the current structure was built between 1200 and 1237. Its clear language of forms, impressive vaults, and calm atmosphere make the cathedral a remarkable testament to sacred architecture.

Masterpieces of European Art

During the city tour, participants encounter significant works of art of international standing. The famous Bamberg Horseman is one of the most impressive medieval sculptures in Germany. The imperial tomb by Tilman Riemenschneider and the Mary's altar by Veit Stoß lead to the highlights of Franconian sculpture art.

Through the Cloister to the Diocesan Museum

The Gothic cloister connects the cathedral to the Diocesan Museum of the Archdiocese of Bamberg. There, the cultural heritage of the cathedral hill unfolds in precious sculptures, liturgical objects, and unique textiles.
