GERMANY: Magnificent WORMS Cathedral (Wormser Dom)
St Peter's Cathedral (Worms Cathedral, Wormser Dom) in Worms, Germany - the stunning Cathedral of St. Peter, St Peter's Cathedral (Worms Cathedral, Wormser Dom) and the crypt. Let's visit St Peter's Cathedral (Worms Cathedral, Wormser Dom) which is a Roman Catholic church and cathedral in the city of Worms in Germany. We will also visit the crypt of the Worms Cathedral in Germany.
Worms Cathedral (Kaiserdom, Wormser Dom or Dom St. Peter) is one of the finest examples of High Romanesque architecture in Germany.
For nearly 1000 years, the unique and majestic St Peter's Cathedral (Worms, Cathedral, Wormser Dom) has risen above all the other ancient buildings of the city, dominating the skyline even from a distance. Its original Romanesque architecture and splendid carvings are still exceptionally well-preserved.
St Peter's Cathedral (Worms Cathedral, Wormser Dom) has a highly distinctive appearance from the outside, with its two domed choirs and four corner towers. It is also quite unified in its architecture: only a few Gothic additions were made to the original Romanesque structure.
The high altar is a Baroque extravaganza by the famous 18th-century architect Balthasar Neumann. This opulent work of gilded wood and marble was so large that there was no place for a proper transept. It features awe-inspired Saints Peter and Paul with two angels pointing at the Madonna and Child, who seem to be coming right at you.
The cathedral crypt is austere, dark and eerie. It serves as the resting place of five generations of the Salian dynasty.

Would love to have witnessed the artists working on the sculptures and altar...so beautiful! Am wondering why the crypt is plain. I'm guessing that was typical?

Thank you for these interesting comments!! 😊😊😊I am not sure why the crypt was so plain.. I was surprised too, I had expected to find a highly decorated place given that it was the resting place for emperors...
