regensburg cathedral


Regensburg Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and artistry of the Middle Ages. Its construction began in the 13th century, incorporating French Gothic elements such as the three-sectioned nave and the twin spires that dominate its facade. The cathedral is not only a landmark of Regensburg but also the seat of the Catholic Diocese of Regensburg. It houses an impressive collection of medieval stained glass windows, which are among the most extensive in the German-speaking world. This architectural jewel completed its current form in the 19th century, with the finishing of its towers, and continues to be a focal point of the UNESCO World Heritage city.
