Discover Bamberg's Cathedral Treasure in 90 Minutes

On October 4, 2026, the public tour Dom.Treasure.Cloister will take you through one of Bamberg's most impressive cultural sites. Cathedral, Cathedral Treasure, Gothic Cloister and Diocesan Museum combine local history, religious heritage, and European art history into an intense discovery experience.

Romanesque Clarity and Gothic Atmosphere

The tour begins in Bamberg Cathedral, whose history is closely linked to the canonized imperial couple Heinrich and Kunigunde. After several fires, the current building was constructed between 1200 and 1237. Its clear design language, impressive sculptures, and serene atmosphere make the Cathedral a special place for city tours.

Masterpieces of European Art History

Highlights include the famous Bamberg Rider and the sculptures of the Cathedral with their distinct French influences. The imperial tomb by Tilman Riemenschneider and the Mary altar by Veit Stoß showcase the outstanding quality of medieval and late medieval art. History is conveyed here not abstractly, but is made tangible through stone, wood, and artistic design.

Through the Cloister to the Diocesan Museum

Through the Gothic Cloister, the tour leads into the Diocesan Museum. There, visitors encounter precious testimonies of ecclesiastical culture: The star mantle from the 11th century is considered a masterpiece of medieval textile art. In addition, there are the vestments of Pope Clement II, high-quality sculptures, and the largest preserved Ottonian cross.

A Cultural Experience for Bamberg Explorers

The tour is aimed at everyone who wants to experience Bamberg's architecture, religious art, and local history with expert guidance. The maximum group size is 20 people. The meeting point is at the foyer of the Diocesan Museum; the tour takes place on Sunday at 2:00 PM.
