  1. Dom

    To the north of Hauptplatz is the Ro­man­esque Dom, erected in 1279 but subsequently rebuilt. It has a rather bare and grey exterior, two severe-looking square towers, and the interior has an unbalanced look, caused by the chancel being out of line with the nave as well as an asymmetric arch connecting the two. Fifteenth-century wooden apostles peer down from pillars and there’s a baroque high altar and pulpit.

  2. Neukloster

    East of Hauptplatz is Neukloster, a 14th-century Gothic church with striking baroque fittings and a dark-wood pulpit. A finely carved tomb of Empress Eleonore, wife to Friedrich III, is behind the high altar.
