Paderborn Cathedral has no named architect or client in the article. The infobox gives only a 13th-century founding. The text describes earlier cathedrals, including one consecrated in 1015 and one rebuilt by Bishop Imad after an 1058 fire, and places the present building's reconstruction from before 1220 to the late 13th century.
The infobox calls the style Romanesque-Gothic. The text describes a late Romanesque start, an early Gothic hall-church nave and High Gothic completion, with Baroque interior work in the 17th century. It is 341 feet (104 m) long, 171 feet (52 m) wide and 92 feet (28 m) high, with a 305-foot (93 m) western tower.
Allied bombing in 1945 destroyed all historic stained glass, and reconstruction was completed in the 1950s. It is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Paderborn and holds Saint Liborius's relics in the crypt. The article gives no hours.
