The romanesque and Gothic Church and its art treasures, also the very sad and moving photographs and description of those who suffered and lost their lives for their beliefs.

You won't know where to stop looking in Xanten Cathedral: over a dozen polyptich altars, mostly late Gothic or early Renaissance, many with superb carving. Two of them feature fascinating and intricate Trees of Jesse, one of them forming an incredibly elaborate carved unpainted boxwood frame of vines twining around human figures, the whole thing surrounding a very fine carved Life of Mary altar. The carving in the choir stalls, complete with amusing misericords, is also very good. To boot, there is some excellent stained glass, and a moving contemporary crypt devoted to clergymen martyred by the Nazis. The architecture of the whole is no slouch either, with its fine Gothic nave and at least one in-tact Romanesque side-chapel in the apse. Outside, don't miss the grotesquely moving open-air Calvary, or the Gethsemane and Resurrection chapels (under glass) set into the cathedral walls. The rest of the town is quite delightfully picturesque and it's small enough to be easily walkable in half a day. If you like more commercially-tinged tourism there is also a gigantic Roman site, with a huge museum, just outside town and a somewhat gaudy theme-oriented museum dedicated to the Nibelungenlied (the hero Siegfried was supposedly born in Xanten.) Altogether an excellent goal for a one or two day excursion.

Peaceful, quiet and rich gothic grandeur right off Xanten's market square.Make sure to step outside in the back of the cathedral into a tranquil atrium (cloister) and to stroll the covered walks.

I don´t dislike anything about our Dom, but simply love its grandeur, its vaulting, all the obvious and hidden treasures.The carving of some of the altars is simply breathtaking.

We thought it was good to see the dedications to those citizens that lost their lives during the Third Reich because of their beliefs. Very moving stories. Altogether an interesting place to visit.

If you are visiting Xanten, or passing by the city - visit St. Viktor Dom. It's a very large Roman Catholic cathedral, that is very impressive inside. Located just in the middle in the town, by its cental square.

Not really much to say here - just another German cathedral which is beautiful. Sure I've seen better, but this one is among my favorites anyway. What I especially like about German cathedrals is their interiors - really rich, with so many small details etc. Spend a few minutes inside this one - you'll like it.

This is one of the highlights of the city, and definitely worth a visit.

The "Dom" is an impressive church, with very good pieces of medieval art (mainly altars). The attached museum is worth to be visited, too
