It is one of the most beautiful cathedral in the region of Munich. Authentic,accessible, ancient, an example of the magnificent art and richness from Freising . No tourists at all.
Very nice church with old history till 10th century! The dome has experienced several decades of different architecture styles. Surprising is that it’s going down inside and the nice little chapel with the leftovers of St Korbinian! Happy Easter!
What a astonishing place. I didn’t know about this cathedral before and I was so surprised how beautiful and easy to reach. Less than half hour from Munique’s airport you can reach Freising city and enjoy of the magnificent and beautiful cathedral.
Saint Mary and Corbinian Cathedral (Dom) is the feature attraction in Freising. Situated upon the hillside compound that overlooks the town, the church history dates all the way back to the 8th century and features Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Rococo architectural aspects. This is a must-see place for those visiting this quaint little town outside of Munich. The church is unassuming from the outside, appearing to simply be a building entrance in the back corner of the small open courtyard. However, upon entry you are quickly treated to a remarkable interior. Starting with the nave, you will see heavy use of stucco work and frescos adorning the ceiling, wall and nave columns. This is the work of the locally famous Asam Brothers, Bavarian Baroque masters from the early 18th century. Simply put, the church is beautiful and worth taking a seat to enjoy for a few minutes. The pulpit is very attractive. As is the main altar and painting, aisle altars and side chapels. There is also a basement crypt with the tomb of St. Corbinian for which the cathedral is known. Keep you eyes open as well for the pillar of Beasts (Bestiensäule), a column carved in the Middle Ages that is considered one of the most distinguished sculptures in Europe. Overall, we were very impressed with the Saint Mary and Corbinian Cathedral (Dom). This is a Barque and Rococo gem in Feisling, as beautiful as any of the major churches that we visited in Munich.
