Dom

Eichstätt’s centre is dominated by the richly adorned Dom. Standout features include an enormous 16th-century stained-glass window by Hans Holbein the Elder, and the carved sandstone Pappenheimer Altar (1489–97), depicting a pilgrimage from Pappenheim to Jerusalem. The seated statue is of St Willibald, the town’s first bishop. The adjoining Domschatzmuseum includes the robes of 8th-century English-born bishop St Willibald and baroque Gobelin tapestries.
