The Eichstätt Cathedral (St. Salvator, U.L. Frau and St. Willibald) is the cathedral church of the Catholic diocese of Eichstätt in Eichstätt, Bavaria. The three-aisled hall church is based on the founding building of St. Willibald, who is said to have built the first stone church here as early as the 8th century. Today's church was mainly built in high and late Gothic styles and was completed in 1718 with a baroque west facade. Together with the cloister and the two-aisled mortuarium, the cathedral is one of the most important medieval monuments in Bavaria.

MORTUARY
A door between the southern tower and the Sacrament Chapel leads to the "Mortuarium". The two-aisled room was built around 1500 and served as the burial place for the noble cathedral chapter. The "Winged Column" and the elaborate "Beautiful Column" at the end of the row of columns are striking. The stained glass pictures that have been preserved were created according to designs by Hans Holbein the Elder. Ä.
