The Gothic cathedral with its high-Gothic chancel and Romanesque tower replaced the church built on this site for Bishop Boniface in 742 AD.

The Church of St Severus, a five-naved Gothic hall church, was a collegiate church from the 12th century onwards. Today, along with the cathedral, it is part of Erfurt's most famous landmark.
