    Formerly a monastery church, today a parish church: with its rich history and Romanesque design, the Fritzlar Cathedral is a very important church. In addition, the cathedral has had the papal honorary title of "Basilica minor" since 2004.

    The former monastery and collegiate church of St. Peter, known as Fritzlar Cathedral, is located in the small town of Fritzlar in the Schwalm-Eder district of northern Hesse, about 25 km south of Kassel. It is considered one of the most important Romanesque churches in Hesse. The founding of the church and monastery around 722 by Boniface became the starting point for the development of Fritzlar. The present cathedral, which stands approximately 55 meters tall to the spire, is the centerpiece of the town and dominates its skyline.

    From around the 1290s, the Romanesque south aisle was replaced by two Gothic side aisles and the three wings of the cloister and the abbey buildings were built in Gothic forms, which today house the cathedral museum and the cathedral library.
