Church of St. Magnus

Braunschweig Cathedral was founded in 1173 by Henry the Lion. The building most probably received the designation "cathedral" as early as the 14th or 15th century. However, it was not so much a bishop's church as a monastery. Until the 19th century, Braunschweig Cathedral was therefore known as the Collegiate Church of St. Blasius and St. John the Baptist, which is still partly in use today.

The church of St. Aegidien was founded in the 12th century as the abbey church of the Aegidien monastery. The original Romanesque church burned down in 1278 and was rebuilt in the French Gothic style. In 1528, the convent was dissolved and the abbey church was used as a Lutheran parish church. In 1717, the church was furnished in the Baroque style. Desecrated at the beginning of the 18th century, it finally found a stable role as an exhibition space from 1902. After the Second World War, the church was given to Catholics.

St. Catherine's Church was built in the early 13th century. In the second half of the 13th century, the church was transformed into a Gothic hall church as indicated by an indulgence of 1252. One of the towers burst into flames in 1815 after a thunderbolt. Between 1887 and 1890, the city construction officer Ludwig Winter restored the interior of the church. After the destruction of the church during the Second World War, restoration began in 1946. The helmets of the spire and the interior were renewed from 1957 to 1958.
