Xanten Cathedral information


Xanten Cathedral with the de Pauw obelisk

Xanten Cathedral (German: Xantener Dom), sometimes called St. Victor's Cathedral (German: St.-Viktor-Dom), is a Catholic church situated in Xanten, a historic town in the lower Rhine area, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is considered the biggest cathedral between Cologne and the sea. In 1936 it was declared a minor basilica by Pope Pius XI.[1] Even though the church is called a cathedral, it has never been the seat of a bishop.
