St. Salvator’s Cathedral is one of the tourist magnets in Fulda and is considered the most important baroque church in Hesse. The city’s landmark has been a cathedral and thus an episcopal church since 1752. Since the cathedral previously also served as a monastery and collegiate church for the Fulda monastery founded by St. Boniface, his remains are buried in the west crypt of the monastery church. A visit to the tomb of St Boniface is therefore a must on a tour of the imposing cathedral. Inside, the baroque church is modelled on St. Peter’s and the Lateran Basilica in Rome and impresses with a magnificent pulpit, ornate side altars and the crossing dome.
