Fulda Sights

  1. Cathedral Museum

    Don't pass through Fulda without visiting this museum (Dommuseum). Its treasures include Jewish gravestones (in the artefact-packed front yard), the spectacular Silver Altar and a spooky thing reported to be part of the skull of St Boniface (it even wears a headdress). Look through the cloakroom's glass floor to the foundations of the original basilica.

  2. St Michael's Church

    Fulda's history started here. A still-standing reminder of the abbey that made this town, this remarkable church (Michaelskirche) was the monastic burial chapel. Beneath classic witch's-hat towers, a Carolingian rotunda and crypt recall Fulda's flourishing Middle Ages, when the abbey scriptorium churned out top-flight illuminated manuscripts.

  3. Town Palace

    Fulda's 'Baroque City' tag rings true at the palace (Stadtschloss). The era's extravagance amazes in the Speigelkabinett (Chamber of Mirrors) and grandiose Fürstensaal, a banquet hall decorated with reliefs of tipsy-looking wine queens. Climb the tower for a town vista. Also, there are pretty views from the Green Room over the gardens to the Orangerie .
