[🇩🇪Bamberg] The beauty of the historic cathedral and former palace

Bamberg is a World Heritage city in Bavaria, Germany. The medieval streetscape remains intact, and the beautiful canal scenery, also known as "Little Venice," spreads out before you. At the center of the city are Bamberg Cathedral (Bamberger Dom) and the nearby Old Court (Old Court, Alte Hofhaltung). Both are buildings that exude history and dignity, and are definitely worth visiting if you visit Bamberg. Bamberg Cathedral: A magnificent Romanesque masterpiece Bamberg Cathedral is a magnificent piece of architecture built in the 13th century that combines Romanesque and Gothic styles. The equestrian statue known as the "Bamberg Knight Statue" is particularly famous. It is still shrouded in mystery as to who it is modeled after, but its handsome expression and delicate beauty of form captivate the viewer. In addition, the cathedral is home to the tombs of Holy Roman Emperor Henry II and his wife Kunigunde, making it a place of great historical value. Just walking through the tranquil interior and gazing at the magnificent sculptures and stained glass makes you feel the passage of time. Old Court (Alte Hofhaltung): A courtyard that feels the weight of history Located right next to the cathedral is Bamberg's Old Court (Alte Hofhaltung). This building was once used as a bishop's palace and is a beautiful piece of architecture with a distinctive half-timbered facade. When you walk through here, you feel as if you have traveled back in time to the Middle Ages. The courtyard in particular is wonderful, and the space surrounded by cobblestone streets and half-timbered buildings has an atmosphere like a movie set. It is currently open to the public as a historical museum, where you can learn more about the history and culture of Bamberg. Summary Bamberg Cathedral and the Old Court are places that symbolize the history and culture of the city. By touring the majestic interior of the cathedral and the Old Court that retains its old-fashioned atmosphere, you can immerse yourself in the world of medieval Germany. When you visit Bamberg, be sure to take your time to walk around these two spots! #Bamberg #Trip to Germany #World Heritage Site #Bamberg Cathedral #AlteHofhaltung #Old Imperial Court #Historical Architecture #Romanesque Style #Gothic Architecture #Spring 0 Yen Trip
