Sankt-Sebastian-Kirche

Sankt-Sebastian-Kirche stands with brick walls and traditional Romanesque architectural elements, featuring solid construction methods typical of medieval religious buildings.

Founded in 1015 by Archbishop Gero, the cathedral underwent multiple reconstructions, including a Gothic transformation in the 14th century and restorations after World War II.

The cathedral houses a tooth relic of Saint Sebastian and serves as the episcopal seat of the Catholic Diocese of Magdeburg since 1994.

Regular religious services take place in the cathedral, while guided tours provide information about the architectural and historical aspects of the building.

Steel bells from 1955 ring in the south tower, with the largest weighing 2.8 tons, creating distinct sounds across Magdeburg.
