In the great Gothic style its build commenced in 1421 and it has been a treasured landmark ever since. A greater than 100 metre tower which has marvellous carvings in stone was only completed hundreds of years later, being unveiled in 1893. Within is expansive and gives an awe-inspiring vista along the central nave. Vibrant stained glass form a glorious backdrop to a simple altar, with all crowned by an exquisite ribbed ceiling. An imposing ornate organ is in the balcony at the rear.

This is a beautiful cathedral with striking stained glass throughout. The woodwork and other features are well worth a stop. The small square outside was hosting a small Christmas market during our visit which made it even more charming. Lovely spot.

Very good experience. Well maintained and very impressive. The Architecture is striking and the stained glass was well preserved. We always enjoy vising cathedrals and churches in Europe. Makes one pause and reflect on how much work went into the construction ( without the help/aid of modern tools and techniques ) Worth the visit

With the Fasenacht around the church yard , there was a peace prayer with the attendance of all major denominations of Switzerland. This was a single event to remember the day of the occupation of the Ukraine . The church was packed and the organization of this service went like clockwork A very inspiring hour with much to think about Thanks the commitee which organized this prayer hour . Keep on doing the good work for peace in the world.

As a cathedral, this one isn't really in the top league but it occupies a very impressive position overlooking the Aare. Slightly crimped at the moment by restoration scaffolding both inside and out. Some good stained glass - particularly the modern window. There may be more behind the scaffolding. The cathedral was stripped of much of its finery at the Reformation and some impressive pieces of statue feature in the Historical Museum over the river. They were found having been used as rubble to extend the terrace. A sad understated chapel recording all the dead in the Napoleonic invasion.

Wow what a view. The Cathedral of Berne is the largest and the most important late gothic building in Switzerland. You have to do the climb up the spire -CHF 5 for an adult. The spire is open every day and the climb is 312 steps very narrow up to the top. You actually go 222 steps to the first gallery past the bells . Then a quick rest and some great photos take the next 90 steps to the Octagonal galley. The view of the snow covered mountains and the UNESCO world cultural site of the old town is a highlight. The stairway is very narrow and is one way so you go and down different stairways. Wow so glad we made the climb . The church in side is very beautiful with some stunning stain glass windows.

We were in Bern for the Christmas Markets and there was a small Christmas market right next to the Munster. The Munster wasn't open the day we were there but it is amazing from the outside. You can see it from all over the city(I believe it is the tallest spire in Switzerland) and behind the church is a park like area where you can sit and it has views of the river.

Welcome to Hogwarts. The cathedral has such a great charm, it looks like a movie, I can image Harry and his friends around the corners. Windows are finely decorated, you will find different styles and pieces of art, but the central area is pure magic.

Historic and well maintained, the Cathedral is well worth a visit. The stained glass windows are beautiful. The depictions of Heaven and Hell above the main door are ornate and in great condition for their age. The tower climb is quite steep but there's a one way system so you avoid awkward encounters with folks coming the opposite direction. The views from the top are amazing!

We visited the cathedral as part of a walking tour but didn't get the chance to go inside hence I can't give it 5 stars because of that unknown quality. That said, the outside is spectacular with the wonderful spire and some amazingly detailed stonework above the cathedral entrance. I am biased a bit because I love Gothic architecture but I'd defy anyone not to be impressed. Go take a look.
