Dom zu Trier / Cathédrale de Trèves / Cathedral of Trier

Summary

The Cathedral of Saint Peter (German: Trierer Dom) is a church in Trier, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is the oldest cathedral in the country.

The Cathedral of Trier and the other roman monuments of the town are part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites since 1986.

 

More information

The edifice is notable for its extremely long life span under multiple different eras each contributing some elements to its design, including the center of the main chapel being made of Roman brick laid under the direction of Saint Helen, resulting in a cathedral added on to gradually rather than rebuilt in different eras.

Its dimensions, 112.5 by 41 m, make it the largest church structure in Trier.

Regularly the cathedral organises expositions and concerts, like for example the Internationale Orgeltage Trier (International organ days), which take place every year in May and Juin and which have become a centre of attraction for many music lovers.
