Heidenhof am Dom in Wetzlar

The Heidenhof is an integral part of Wetzlar Cathedral and is located behind the magnificent Gothic façade on the west side. It is the remains of an important late Romanesque basilica from the 12th century, which was originally to be demolished to make way for a new, larger church building. The Heidenhof is characterised by its massive Romanesque façade and tower, which stands out from the Gothic façade of the cathedral.

The Heidenhof is an example of the fusion of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles.
