Gothic cathedral, known as the Magdeburger Dom, is possibly the most well-known sight in the city. It was built from 1209 to 1520, on the remains of a Roman cathedral.
Magdeburg Cathedral, officially called the Cathedral of Saints Maurice and Catherine, is a Lutheran cathedral in Germany and the oldest Gothic cathedral in the country. It is the proto-cathedral of the former Prince-Archbishopric of Magdeburg. Today it is the principal church of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany. The south steeple is 99.25 m tall, the north tower 100.98 m, making it one of the tallest cathedrals in eastern Germany. The cathedral is likewise the landmark of Magdeburg, the capital city of the Bundesland of Saxony-Anhalt, and is also home to the grave of Emperor Otto I the Great and his first wife Edith.
