    The history here was incredible! We couldn’t believe the feeling of antiquity inside this place with a date of 850 AD for a beginning. The three rabbits with three ears between them was an intriguing icon.

    Paderborner Dom is a must if you are visiting Paderborn. You can visit the tombs underground, peaceful with a lot of history

    Three rabbits, majestic architecture, shrine of St. Liborius* what else?! OH QUEER OKUMENICAL DIVINE SERVICE WAS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! 🏳️‍🌈✝️🏳️‍🌈✝️😍❤️😍❤️ FOR ALL ST. JAMES: There's stamp inside! Ask the employees there - they're very helpful! 🕹️ *I heard that the relic in Le Mans (Sister City of Paderborn was stolen). Maybe Paderborn can give a part of Liborius relic to them?

    A beautiful piece of history, preserved in a great way. A huge, towering cathedral in the heart of Paderborn, this cathedral is a jewel in Paderborn's history.

    The mesmerising cathedral has been the site of a church since Charlemagne founded a bishopric at this very location in the 8th century. As we see it now, Paderborn Cathedral’s architecture is both Romanesque and Gothic and was completed relatively quickly during the 13th century. The powerful 93-metre western tower is Paderborn’s most famous image. Despite sustaining war damage that destroyed the Medieval stained glass, the cathedral is rich with decoration and fittings. Seek out the Paradise Portal on the southern arm of the western nave. This entrance is from the beginning of the 1200s and abounds with French-style statues that include one of the earliest images of a standing Mary in Germany. Also look out for the Pietà, sculpted in Hesse in 1360, an alabaster relief of the Three Kings from around that time, and the Gothic 15th-century Margarethenaltar.

    Saint Liborius Cathedral in Paderborn was founded in the 8th century, but the present building dates mainly from the 13th century. In the crypt, one of the largest in Germany, the relics of St Liborius are kept. The church was restored with Baroque additions after the Thirty Years' War, during the reign of Prince-Bishop Dietrich Adolf, and also had to be rebuilt after the bombings of the Second World War. These later additions and reconstructions did not fundamentally alter the overall appearance of the building

    This is a beautiful cathedral. The Stations of the Cross are beautifully unique and a must see,. You can feel the history and peace in and around this holy landmark. It is worth a walk through and around.

    A beautiful church which was severely damaged in January and March 1945 and restored in less than 5 years. The guided tour is excellent.

    This building looks impressive. The neighborhood is very nice. It is good to come here during the day, but also after sunset. It looks even more historic :-)

    Beautiful place. This Dom is located at the centre of the city. The Cathedral is a house of God and not a museum. Guided tours are also available.

    We asked for the rabbits window, and it was nice to look for them, because while searching them we found the inner yard and surrounding hallways, which were again quite interesting with sculptures and exhibition and provided an extension to the dom experience.

    Just Wow! Amazing architecture! The massive dom made out of stone. The oldest of the churches in the Roman Empire. Very crowded, good for city visitors
