Architecture that Breathes History
The Bamberg Cathedral was built on the initiative of the canonized imperial couple Henry and Kunigunde and was reconstructed after fires in the 13th century. The clear language of forms, the strong imagery, and the connection to the history of the empire and the church make the tour an intense discovery experience for culture enthusiasts.
