Die Kirche wurde ursprünglich als dreischiffige Hallenkirche mit Dachreiter und hochgotischem Chor erbaut. Zisterzienser - Klosterfrauen nutzten die Kirche ab 1294 als Klosterkirche. Die Altendorfer Kirche ist heute eine Jugendkirche. Das Projekt HERZSCHLAG - Junge Kirche im Südharz verfolgt das Ziel, dass Jugendliche ihre eigene Form des Glauben und des geistlichen Lebens findet.

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.
