St. Mary of the Ascension Cathedral in Hildesheim was founded 872. Almost completely rebuilt in the 1950s in its original Romanesque style, its walls and treasury are now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Baroque interior design of the cathedral was the work of Justus Wehmer (1690-1750). During the Second World War, the cathedral was almost completely destroyed and was rebuilt between 1950 and 1960. The site of the cathedral is famous for a curiosity that can be seen on the outside of the buildings: the "thousand-year-old rose bush". This rosebush grows against an apse in the inner courtyard of the cloister. The exact age of the rosebush has not yet been estimated.
