Description

Star of David in Basels Cathedral. Very interesting place. Basel`s first cathedral was built by bishop Haito in the carolingian epoch 805-823. A larger building named Heinrichsmünster after German king Henry II was consecrated in 1019. Towards the end of the 11th century a tower on the west side was added - which is still part of today`s Georgsturm. A new church building in late Romanic style was erected between 1220 and 1230, but almost completely destroyed during the great Basel earthquake in 1356. This building was restored using basically the same ground plan, but with some new elements in Gothic style and consecrated in 1363. Attached to the church is a former monastery. The towers were erected in 1429 Georgsturm, northwest and 1500 Martinsturm, southeast. During 16th church reformation the monastery was closed down and the bishop expelled from the city. The cloister is open to the public.
