Bamberg Cathedral in Bavaria was founded by Heinrich II in 1002. The article names no architect for the original build. Johann Jacob Michael Küchel added gables to the eastern towers after 1766, and Balthasar Neumann added the chapter house in 1729 to 1733. The infobox gives completion in 1012, while the text says the current building was completed in the 13th century.
It was consecrated on May 6, 1237. The infobox says Romanesque, and the text says late Romanesque with Gothic and Transitional elements. It is about 308 feet (94 m) long, 92 feet (28 m) wide and 85 feet (26 m) high, and the towers are about 266 feet (81 m).
Fires destroyed the early cathedrals in 1081 and 1185. It is an active Catholic cathedral and the seat of the archbishop, with about 40 concerts a year. The article gives no hours.
