In the cathedral, the Gothic cloister, and the diocesan museum, visitors experience cultural heritage with expert interpretation.
Architecture between Romanesque and Gothic
The Bamberg Cathedral was founded by the canonized imperial couple Heinrich and Kunigunde in the early 11th century. After several fires, the current building was erected between 1200 and 1237. Its clear form language, distinctive towers, and special light effects make the cathedral a remarkable sight in the Bamberg hill town.
The Bamberg Horseman and Masterpieces of Sculpture
