Imperial cathedral of Königslutter, Romanesque cathedral in Königslutter am Elm, Germany

The Imperial Cathedral features a three-nave basilica layout with a cross shape, measuring 75 meters in length and 18 meters in height.

Emperor Lothar III established the cathedral in 1135, transforming a previous canonical foundation into a Benedictine monastery as his family burial site.

The cathedral contains architectural elements from Lombardy craftsmen, displaying similarities to buildings in Ferrara, Verona, and Piacenza.

The cathedral opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00 between April and October, and from 9:00 to 17:00 from November through March.

The north side Lion Portal stands among the most distinct Romanesque entrances in Germany, while the hunting frieze on the main apse remains unmatched in Romanesque art.
