A Cathedral with a History You Can Touch

The Bamberg Cathedral was established at the initiative of the canonized imperial couple Henry and Kunigunde, suffered fires, and was rebuilt between 1200 and 1237. Its clear design language, monumental effect, and historical depth make the interior a place where cultural heritage and spiritual atmosphere are directly palpable.

World-Famous Artworks in the Light of the Tour

Highlights include the Bamberg Rider, the imperial tomb by Tilman Riemenschneider, and the Marian altar by Veit Stoß. These works belong to the most precious testimonies of European art history and give the tour its extraordinary rank.
