St Mary`s Cathedral and St Michael`s Church at Hildesheim
District of Hanover, State of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) Germany
|
St Michael's Church was built between 1010 and 1020 on a symmetrical plan with two apses that was characteristic of Ottonian Romanesque art in Old Saxony. Its interior, in particular the wooden ceiling and painted stucco-work, its famous bronze doors and the Bernward bronze column, are – together with the treasures of St Mary's Cathedral – of exceptional interest as examples of the Romanesque churches of the Holy Roman Empire.

Beautiful churches, but also check out the non-UNESCO sites in town. They are even better in some ways.
