Regensburg Cathedral

Why go

This record is the cathedral church, not the cathedral treasury museum or the Regensburger Domspatzen choir. Regensburg's tourism board says building stopped around 1520 when funds ran out, leaving the towers unfinished for more than 350 years, that work to complete them began in 1859 by order of King Ludwig I and the towers were inaugurated in June 1869, and that its stained glass windows date from the 13th and 14th centuries. DOMPLATZ 5, the Catholic information and visitor centre at the cathedral run by the cathedral chapter, says the cathedral is open for prayer and for visits, gives information on service and visiting times, and offers public cathedral tours, some of them including the cathedral cloister (translated from German). The tourism board says the Domspatzen usually sing at Sunday services in the cathedral.
