Brunswick Cathedral

The Brunswick Cathedral, in the city of Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany, is dedicated to St. Blaze and was built by Henry the Lion from 1173 to 1195.

Henry and his consort Matilda are both buried in the cathedral. The limestone statues on the tomb in the nave are an idealised representation made a generation after their death, between 1230 and 1240.

The cathedral is famous for its wooden crucifix by Master Imervard (12th century) and one of very few huge bronze candlesticks with seven arms.
