        Information in the Cathedral.

        The Barbarossa Chandelier is a 12th-century chandelier, a gift from Frederick Barbarossa.
        The Marienschrein and the Karlschrein are two reliquaries from the late 12th and early 13th centuries, considered among the masterpieces of Maasland goldsmithing. The church's most important relics are kept in the Marianschrijn. According to tradition, it contains the bandages and loincloth of Jesus Christ, the tunic of Mary, and the beheading cloth of John the Baptist.
