Halberstadt Cathedral

Halberstadt Cathedral is quite eye-catching in Germany and it is one of the Gothic landmarks. It has an unparalleled history and amazing art treasures, who can resist being attracted? - In the center of the church 💒, the magnificent Hallenlettner and the Triumphal Cross from 1510 are particularly eye-catching, which are special examples of late medieval sculpture and inspire awe and admiration. - Also, the organ here is amazing! Its history dates back to 1000 and it was completed in 1361. It was also the first large organ with a 12-tone keyboard, which set a milestone in the history of music. By 1712 it had regained its former glory in the Western Gallery, where it has remained a key player in European organ music ever since. Its unique sound has echoed for centuries, making the cathedral a destination for music lovers around the world. - That’s not all, the cathedral’s treasury houses more than 1,200 extraordinary pieces, such as the world-famous Abraham Angel Carpet, the oldest surviving tapestry of figures in Europe. These treasures are proof enough that the cathedral was a beacon of art and spirituality in the Middle Ages.
