Erfurt Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Erfurt, Germany
The cathedral stands with its three towers and Gothic architecture on a hill above Cathedral Square, next to Saint Severus Church.
The cathedral site held multiple structures since 742 when Saint Boniface built the first church, leading to the current building construction in 1154.
The cathedral functions as the main church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erfurt and maintains regular religious services for 134,000 Catholics in Thuringia.
Visitors can access the cathedral through the main entrance facing Cathedral Square and explore both the interior Gothic elements and exterior architectural features.
The Maria Gloriosa bell, cast in 1497, remains the largest medieval free-swinging bell in the world, housed in the cathedral's central tower.
