19 <strong>Fulda</strong>’s Sights<br />
The Cathedral [7]<br />
Influenced by Roman Baroque architecture, the cathedral was<br />
built between 1704 and 1712 by the renowned architect Johann<br />
Dietzenhofer. The cathedral is not only <strong>Fulda</strong>’s famous landmark,<br />
but also the most significant baroque religious building<br />
in the State of Hesse. During construction many parts of the<br />
previous church, the 9th century Ratgar Basilika, were integrated<br />
in the new cathedral. Since 1752 it has been the cathedral<br />
church of the <strong>Fulda</strong> diocese. The cathedral has retained its great<br />
religious significance up to today due to the tomb of St. Boniface<br />
which is still today an important place of pilgrimage.<br />
