Wurzburg Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Würzburg, Germany.
Würzburg Cathedral is a Romanesque cathedral in Bavaria with twin towers flanking its facade. The building is constructed from brick and displays the solid, structured style typical of this architectural period.
Construction started in 1040 under Bishop Bruno and was completed by Bishop Adalbero by 1075 following Bruno's death in 1045. The project shows how important Würzburg was as a religious center during medieval times.
The interior shows layers of religious practice that shaped the space over centuries. Visitors can see how people used the building as a place for devotion and how art reflects their beliefs.
The cathedral is easy to reach on foot from the city center and welcomes visitors to enter freely. You can attend services to hear the bells, or simply walk by to enjoy the building's exterior design.
The bell system includes twenty bells of different ages and weights that still ring together today. The oldest bell dates from the 13th century and continues to sound during services.
