The most beautiful building on the cathedral square is the former cathedral, decorated with many stonemasons. It was built between 1592 and 1611 as an excellent example of Renaissance architecture and had two owners: the lower floor belonged to the Duke of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and the upper floor to the Bishop of Halberstadt.

The masterpieces of textile art are world famous, such as the Abraham Engel carpet from around 1150. A once collapsible ivory writing tablet, a consular dipthychon from Ravenna from 416, is the oldest exhibit. The richly decorated Byzantine bread bowl from the 11th century is particularly magnificent.
