Havelberg Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Havelberg, Germany.

The cathedral features a massive westwork rising over 30 meters, containing a triple-nave basilica structure with Romanesque lower walls and Gothic vaulting.

King Otto I established the Bishopric of Havelberg in 946, leading to the cathedral's construction in 1147 and consecration in 1170 during German expansion eastward.

The cathedral houses medieval artworks including grisaille windows from 1300, stone reliefs, carved choir stalls, and a Renaissance baptismal font from the 15th century.

The Prignitz Museum occupies the former cloister rooms, presenting exhibitions about regional history and settlement patterns in the upper halls.

The cathedral's westwork lacks doors and windows in its lower section, creating a fortified appearance known as the Saxon westwork architectural style.
