Eichstätt Cathedral

(Local Name: Dom) In the Domplatz in Eichstätt stands the Romanesque/Gothic Cathedral (11th-14th C), with a Baroque west front. In the west choir are the canopied altar, which contains the remains of St Willibald (first bishop of Eichstätt, d. 787), and a seated figure of the saint, the finest work of the local sculptor Loy Hering (1484-c. 1554). In the north transept is the stone Pappenheim Altar (by Veit Wirsberger, c. 1495).

On the southeast side of the Cathedral is a two-story cloister (1420-30), with the fine two-aisled hall of the Mortuarium (15th C; "Beautiful Column", 1489).
