Brunswick Cathedral (Dom St. Blasii et Johannis) has no named architect in the article. Henry the Lion established the original foundation as a collegiate church. The infobox and text agree it was built from 1173 to 1195, though construction was disrupted during Henry's exiles. It was consecrated on December 29, 1226 and dedicated to Saints Blaise, John the Baptist and Thomas Becket.
The article calls the style Romanesque. It mentions limestone tomb statues of Henry and his consort Matilda from 1230 to 1240, a wooden crucifix by Imervard and a seven-armed bronze candlestick from about the 1170s. It gives no dimensions.
The church came into Lutheran use in 1543. Its relic collection, the Welfenschatz, was removed in 1671 and sold in parts in 1929 and 1935. A Lutheran congregation owns and uses the cathedral. The article gives no hours.
