Halberstadt Cathedral

Local nameDom St. Stephanus und St. Sixtus
LocationHalberstadt, Deutschland

The Halberstadt Cathedral or Church of St Stephen and St Sixtus is a Gothic church in Halberstadt in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It was the episcopal see of the Bishopric of Halberstadt, established by Emperor Charlemagne in 804. The present-day church, which replaced an older Romanesque church, was built between 1236 and 1491 in a Gothic style, clearly inspired by the French Gothic cathedrals. In 1591 the Bishop of Halberstadt joined the Protestant Reformation, and the church has been used by the Protestant Church since.
