Points forts
Eichstätt resides on both sides of the river Altmühl in Upper Bavaria, and it is famous for its quarries of Jurassic limestone. During the Thirty Years' War, the Swedes conquered the city, which was considered a stronghold of Catholicism, and in 2008 Eichstätt celebrated 1100 years of existence. Admire the historical ensemble of the bishopric and former residence town with its churches, magnificent squares, and elegant baroque palaces. Enjoy the baroque ambiance given by the city’s masterful buildings and squares, refined with elegance.

Itinéraire
Known as the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Willibald and St. Salvator, it is an 11th-Century Roman Catholic cathedral in the heart of Eichstätt. It houses the tomb of Saint Willibald, who came to "Eihstat" in the year of 740 and found a destroyed town but a unexplicably saved church of Saint Mary. He decided to found here a monastery that later led to the building of the late gothic cathedral in the 14th century.
Built after the Catholic Reformation by the Jesuits in 1614, this catholic church was rebuilt along its history, during the 30 Years War, first in the style of the late Renaissance, and then in baroque in the 18th century. It was restored fully after the Second World War, between 1961 and 64, but its artistic and cultural value was neither destroyed or damaged during the war.
Built in the 18th century by the prince-bishop of Eichstätt, two italian master builders gave it its southern flair. After several modifications along the last two centuries, the city decided to restore it to its original glory in 1985. Today it is the most beautiful square of the city, surrounded by historical buildings and official institutions, like the City Hall or the main building of Caritas.
The former home of the prince-bishops of Eichstätt is an impressive, three-winged palace built in barroque style. Notice the impressive staircase and it's impressive railway done in cast iron. This certainly has some secrets to tell, and some stories to learn.
