Dom St. Peter und Paul Bardowick

The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul features two octagonal towers, a three-nave hall structure, and narrow windows framed by exterior buttresses.

Dating from 1146, the cathedral underwent major reconstruction after damages in 1189 by Henry the Lion, with the current structure completed between 1389 and 1485.

The cathedral contains northern Germany's largest choir stalls, carved in 1486, along with a bronze baptismal font from 1367 and art pieces from 1430.

The cathedral opens daily from 9:00 to 16:00 during winter months and extends its hours until 17:00 from April through September.

Seven church bells reside in the towers, with the two oldest ones in the south tower dating back to approximately 1150.
