🎧 Listen to Introduction

Built between 1010 and 1020, St. Michael's Church, with its symmetrical plan and two apses, is a typical example of Otto-Romanesque art in Old Saxony. The interior of the church, especially the wooden ceiling and painted stucco decorations, the famous bronze doors and the Bernwald bronze columns, together with the treasures of St. Mary's Cathedral, is of extraordinary significance as an example of a Romanesque church in the Holy Roman Empire.
