Cathedral of Magdeburg, Protestant cathedral in Magdeburg, Germany

The Cathedral of Magdeburg rises to 104 meters with two towers constructed from dimension stone, displaying Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1201 after Emperor Otto I established the first church on this site as an imperial abbey in 937.

The cathedral contains a remarkable 13th-century statue of Saint Maurice, depicting him as an African knight in medieval German armor.

The cathedral opens daily for visitors, with guided tours available in multiple languages and special access to the tower providing views across Magdeburg.

The cathedral houses the tomb of Emperor Otto I and his first wife Edith, making it the only German cathedral containing imperial remains from the 10th century.
