The Dom is an Impressive gothic with some renaissance elemnts cathedral, very impressive on the top of the hill above Erfut, a delightful medium size city of about 300.000 people in the heart of Thuringia, a not much visited area of Germany which is definitely worth a visit. The town and the Dom are full of history and art. While visiting the cathedral me and my wife were very fortunate to be guided by Matthias, the sacristan or verger of the Dom, after he generously volunteered to do it after our queries showing interest in the cathedral and it´s history. We had a good and deep conversation about our catholic church and it´s problems surfacing today. Thanks very much Matthias for your warm welcoming to Erfurt Dom.

The church of St Severus with its distinctive spires stands on the same high ground as the cathedral and is its neighbour. It is a fine gothic building. The font and font canopy are stunning as is the beautiful -- if somewhat reconstructed -- shrine ot St Severus. Lots of grave slabs, mostly of clergy, and a number of nice gothic saints' images.
