Rottenburg Cathedral

Rottenburg Cathedral, also known as St. Martin's Cathedral (Dom St. Martin), is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Rottenburg am Neckar, Germany dedicated to Martin of Tours. It is the seat of the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart.

History
A chapel was built here in 1280; the parish church of the village of Sülchen was established before the village was incorporated into the city, and was dedicated to St Martin. A fire in 1644 was followed by a fundamental reconstruction which was completed on 8 September 1655. The reconstruction made the building into a Baroque church, the pillars were strengthened and the vault was repaired. The asymmetric plan was preserved.

Known in German as Dom St. Martin it has been the city's cathedral since 1821. Its tower, dating from 1486, is its most prominent feature.
