St. Paul’s Cathedral is one of the most important church buildings in M\u00fcnster and a landmark of the city. It stands in the middle of the old town on the Domplatz. During our first visit to M\u00fcnster, we unfortunately did not have time to visit St. Paul’s Cathedral. On our second visit to the city, we were now fortunately able to make up for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The present cathedral is already the third cathedral of the M\u00fcnster diocese. The two previous buildings were demolished.
The building history of the present cathedral begins around 1192, when the bishop of the time had the Romanesque west building erected at his own expense. At that time the second cathedral was still standing and the west building was added here. After the demolition of the second cathedral, the west building was preserved and integrated into the third cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
