Lincoln Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Lincoln, England
The limestone cathedral features two tall western towers, a central tower, and detailed Gothic carvings across its exterior and interior walls.
The cathedral's construction began in 1072 after William the Conqueror ordered its relocation from Dorchester, reaching completion twenty years later.
The Lincoln Cathedral Choir performs daily services with both male and female choristers, maintaining centuries-old Anglican musical traditions.
The cathedral opens daily from 7:15 AM to 6 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages and a dedicated parking area for visitors.
The cathedral houses one of four surviving original copies of the 1215 Magna Carta, displayed in a purpose-built vault within Lincoln Castle.
