Germany: Fulda Cathedral and Saint Michael's Church in Fulda

On 20th September I got four postcards: one from Germany and three from the USA.

The card from Germany shows the Fulda Cathedral and Saint Michael's Church in Fulda. The Fulda Cathedral is the former abbey church of Fulda Abbey and the burial place of Saint Boniface. Since 1752 it has also been the cathedral of the Diocese of Fulda. It is the most famous building in the Baroque district of Fulda and became a symbol of the town. The Saint Michael's Church next to it was built in the Carolingian architectural style in the 9th century and was used as a burial chapel of the Fulda Abbey, which was back then one of the prominent cultural centres of the early Middle Ages. It is considered to be one of the most important medieval churches in Germany.
