Some of my favorite Dom or cathedrals are in Germany. This one is smaller but just as nice, especially inside. There were some extremely talented artisans that were commissioned to work on the interiors of these cathedrals. I like the contrast of deep blue and stark whites on the domed ceilings of the alter area. The cherubic characters give the church a bit of softness and warmth. The carved detail of marble of the angelic characters are quite impressive. It's an all around stunning interior. read more

Absolutely stunning and the fact this was built so long ago with such detail is a testament to architecture. When this place is open it is a must see, you feel different walking inside here and lighting a candle to lost loved ones is also amazing. This medieval gothic design is amazing. I can't say enough how pretty. read more

Im Laufe der letzten anderthalb Jahrzehnte habe ich Dutzende Dome, Kathedralen und Kapellen im In- und Ausland besichtigt, aber dennoch konnte mich der Trierer Dom St. Peter noch gehörig beeindrucken. Die wechselvolle Geschichte des Doms findet in der Vielfalt und Opulenz des Innenraums ihren Niederschlag. Viele der über den Dom verstreuten "Altäre" stammen aus dem 17. und 18. Jahrhundert, andere Teile sind älter - vom Mauerwerk des ursprünglichen romanischen Doms sind nur Bruchstücke erhalten. Der Dom ist ein Touristenmagnet, kein Wunder bei der fast schon übertriebenen Pracht des Gebäudes. Der Eintritt ist natürlich frei, lediglich der Zugang zum kleinen, aber schönen Domschatz kostet €1,50 - und lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. read more

As Germany's oldest cathedral Domkirche St. Peter stands as a dominant structure steeped in history. From the cloisters to an exterior featuring several styles of architecture a proper understanding of where one era begins and another ends requires time and exploration, especially of treasures within. Open at 06h30 daily, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986, those most fortunate will ideally be able to hear the sounds of ornate pipe organs echoing throughout the building and into the plaza. read more

It is the oldest cathedral in the country. The edifice is notable for its extremely long life span under multiple different eras each contributing some elements to its design, including the center of the main chapel being made of Roman brick laid under the direction of Saint Helen, resulting in a cathedral added onto gradually rather than rebuilt in different eras. In 1986 it was listed as part of the Roman Monuments, Cathedral of St. Peter and Church of Our Lady in Trier UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you like old churches and interesting buildings from the roman era, you must visit this place. I think it is beautiful and quite artistic and different to the cathedrals you see around Germany. read more

There's not much I can add to Michelle's review; she did an impressive job. There are some neat things to see here: for example, the " L" in the platz in front of it marks how far it used to stand. The cathedral was 4 times larger than it is now. The dom is attached to the Liebfrau Church, which was built in a Romanesque style. Admission is free, and yes you can take pictures. The span of centuries is amazing to us Americans who have by comparison such a young country. read more

Hohe Domkirche St. Peter zu Trier - You can't fit this place into a photograph. - Churches Near Me - Trier, RP

I know what many people think about Europe: You've seen one church and you've seen them all. Yet by skipping this one, you're missing out on quite a bit more. Religious or not, the history behind this cathedral is astounding. Is that really a piece of Christ's robe? The nail used on the cross? Or simply imagining how this church has been standing for nearly 1800 years. That's right, 1800 years. Granted only part of the church from Emperor Constantine's era still stands, but you can still set foot among the old stones. Even the expansion is almost 1000 years old, a rather impressive feat when you think about it. In fact, it's the oldest church in Germany, so there's plenty of history to be found here. One could spend a while in here exploring, walking up and down the aisles, into the courtyards, through the treasury. There's so much you can walk through, but be mindful - this is a church, so respectful clothing is a must and it's an active Catholic church. Great if you want to attend a service, not so much if you show up during Mass trying to see the interior only. It's a church not to be missed for history buffs and religious people alike. read more

Very ornate church. Lots to look at here the day we were visiting they were playing the pipe organ -very loud and " stern" sounding -just really wanted to be at a hockey game while listening. Worth the visit. read more
