impressive domed church of St. Blasien in the black forest

Some call it the Black Forest Cathedral

The most striking feature in St. Blasien is undoubtedly the imposing complex of buildings belonging to the former Benedictine abbey, with its impressive domed church, the so-called "Black Forest Cathedral." Detailed information about the history, architecture, and art of the building can be found under "St. Blasien Cathedral."
The cathedral is not a museum, but a house of worship, and it only truly bears this name when it is filled with the spirit of the parish, the "house of living stones" (as the Apostle Paul called his congregations). You can learn more about parish life by visiting the sections on Parish and Liturgical Year
This also includes the cultural events in the cathedral, which the parish understands as a spiritual offering, open to visitors from near and far – with a focus on church music.
We are delighted that you are visiting us – now virtually on the internet – another time in person and in real life at the cathedral in St. Blasien.
Pastor  Jan Grzeszewski
