French: Cathédrale Sainte-Marie et église Saint-Michel d'Hildesheim
The St Mary's Cathedral and St Michael's Church at Hildesheim is a World Heritage site in Germany defined by the UNESCO in 1985 and definitely a recommended cultural sightseeing location.
It is on position 477 (714, 385) in our monthly survey..

"St Michael's Church was built between 1010 and 1020 on a symmetrical plan with two apses that was characteristic of Ottonian Romanesque art in Old Saxony. Its interior, in particular the wooden ceiling and painted stucco-work, its famous bronze doors and the Bernward bronze column, are – together with the treasures of St Mary's Cathedral – of exceptional interest as examples of the Romanesque churches of the Holy Roman Empire."
