The cathedral is an active parish with members and services, but visitors may go inside for tours during certain times. Currently, admission tickets cost 8-10 € for adults (depending on the month) and 0 € for children. I viewed only the exterior of this cathedral.

This is one of the most beautiful Lutheran churches in my books.

The wood carved seats, stain glass windows and the high sealing just created a royal feeling when entering this God's house. Had my first wine and bread there and I wanted to get married in this church but I got married in another country.

As I write this review, I have no idea about the origin or story of this statue. I suspect that some folks aren't too pleased with this piece of art. Personally, I am a fan!
