The Cathedral [7]<br />

The cathedral, built by Johann Dietzenhofer between 1704 and<br />

1712, is one of the most impressive baroque buildings in <strong>Fulda</strong>.<br />

The cathedral’s great religious significance is due to the tomb of<br />

St. Boniface which is still today a place of pilgrimage.<br />

Concerts in the Cathedral<br />

Prof. Hans-Jürgen Kaiser, the musical director of the cathedral,<br />

organises regular organ recitals – a chance to enjoy the full<br />

sound of the recently restored organ. Besides choral and organ<br />

concerts in the evening, there are also matinee concerts<br />

from 12.05- 12.35 am on every Saturday in May, June, September,<br />

October and in Advent.<br />

Please note that on these<br />

days, from 11.30 am onwards<br />

the cathedral is only open<br />
