Bamberg Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Bamberg, Germany.
Bamberg Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral located in the old town of Bamberg in Germany. The church has four towers, each rising to 81 meters (266 feet), and measures 94 meters (308 feet) in length and 28 meters (92 feet) in width.
Emperor Henry II began construction in 1002, and the first consecration took place in 1012. After several fires, rebuilding in Romanesque style was completed in 1237 with a second consecration.
The Bamberg Horseman stands in the north aisle and remains one of the most famous medieval sculptures in Germany. This stone figure of a mounted king symbolizes medieval chivalry and attracts visitors who study its detailed carving.
The church is open daily, usually from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in summer and with shorter hours in winter. Guided tours are available regularly and help visitors understand the architecture and interior details.
The church holds the only papal tomb in Germany, that of Pope Clement II from the 11th century. It also houses the tombs of Emperor Henry II and his wife Cunegund, both canonized as saints.
