Magdeburg Cathedral is a symbol of the city. It is the oldest gothic cathedral completed on German soil. It was built in 1207 or 1209 as a cathedral of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg and consecrated in 1363. The cathedral is a funerary church of Otto the Great.
The original church of Saint Sebastian was constructed in 1016, with various additions thereafter. The church's modern form took place after renovations in 1953 and 1959. It sustained damage during a fire in the 14th and 15th centuries, and during the thirty-years war.
The Johanniskirche Magdeburg, a historic church and event venue, has a rich history dating back to the 10th century. It underwent destruction and multiple reconstructions, and now showcases a blend of modern and historical elements, including stunning stained glass windows.
The monastery of St. Burchardi (Kloster Burchardi) is a former Benedictine monastery transformed into a space for social projects, cultural offers and encounter.
