Catholic cathedral of St Sebastian, Magdeburg
The cathedral of the diocese of Magdeburg dates back to the foundation of a Canonist foundation by the Archbishop Gero around 1016. Inparticular,
the Romanesque double-tower façade and the crossing of the three-nave hallchurch, which was overbuilt in Gothic style in the 13th century,
accentuate the basic Romanesque substance impressively. Beside its function as episcopal church with the seat of the bishop since 1994,
St Sebastian has been home of the collegiate church since 1878.
