Sankt Blasien Dom
September 15th, 2008We took a roundabout route home from Switzerland and stopped in the middle of the Black Forest to visit the improbably large St. Blaise Cathedral. It’s billed as the third largest cupola in Europe. Wikipedia lists it as the third “widest” and adds the caveat “at the time it was built.” We got there just as the choir was starting, and left just as it finished.
One of the people traveling with us asked, What’s the difference between a Cathedral and a Minster? — the third time this has come up.
