In 90 minutes, rooms open where art history, religious history, and the cultural heritage of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bamberg come together in a special way.
A city tour full of masterpieces and historical depth
The Cathedral, founded in the early 11th century by Emperor Henry and Empress Kunigunde and rebuilt after fires in the 13th century, impresses with its clear forms and strict dignity. The famous Bamberg Horseman, the sculptures of the Cathedral, as well as works by Tilman Riemenschneider and Veit Stoss make this tour a cultural enrichment of the highest level.
