Cathedral St. Kilian

St. Kilian Cathedral is one of the main works of German architecture and the fourth largest Romanesque church in Germany.

 
Construction was started in 1040 and numerous additions and changes were made until the 18th century, so that Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles are visible. Although the Cathedral was destroyed in 1945, the Baroque stuccowork in the transept and the choir were preserved. It was re-consecrated in 1967.

 
An impressive number of tombstones inside the Cathedral includes the period of the 12th to the 20th centuries. An artistic highlight is Riemenschneider's tombstone for the Princebishop Scherenberg. Connected to the Cathedral is the Schönborn Chapel, designed by Balthasar Neumann.

Special tours are available to groups on request.
