Münster entdecken

Münster Cathedral, seat of the Catholic Diocese of Münster, stands on a low rise called the Horsteberg in the city centre. The present building, raised between 1225 and 1264, incorporates the twin-towered westwork of its 12th-century predecessor and is dedicated to Saint Paul.

St. Lambert's Church is a late-Gothic hall church on the north side of the Prinzipalmarkt in Münster, dedicated to Lambert of Maastricht. Three iron cages still hang from its tower, placed there in 1536 to display the bodies of the executed leaders of the Münster Rebellion, among them Jan van Leiden.
