Canterbury Cathedral is one of the most important religious and historical sites in the United Kingdom. Located in the city of Canterbury in Kent, it is the mother church of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Together with St Augustine\u2019s Abbey and St Martin\u2019s Church, the cathedral has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die 597 vom heiligen Augustinus gegr\u00fcndete Kathedrale wurde in den 1070er-Jahren von den Normannen neu errichtet und in den folgenden Jahrhunderten erweitert \u2013 so entstand eine eindrucksvolle Verbindung von romanischer und gotischer Architektur. Ber\u00fchmt ist sie vor allem durch den Mord an Erzbischof Thomas Becket im Jahr 1170, der die Kathedrale zu einem der wichtigsten Pilgerziele des mittelalterlichen Europa machte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was es zu sehen gibt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Besucher erkunden den weiten Innenraum: das hohe Langhaus im Perpendicular Style, den Chor, die normannische Krypta und das \u201eMartyrdom\u201c, die Stelle, an der Becket get\u00f6tet wurde. Eine einzelne Kerze in der Dreifaltigkeitskapelle markiert den Ort, an dem sein Schrein bis zur Zerst\u00f6rung 1538 stand. Ber\u00fchmt ist der Bau f\u00fcr seine Glasfenster, die zu den \u00e4ltesten Englands z\u00e4hlen und biblische Szenen sowie die Becket zugeschriebenen Wunder zeigen. Der stille Kreuzgang und die G\u00e4rten bieten einen ruhigeren Ort abseits der Hauptkirche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In der Kathedrale finden au\u00dferdem t\u00e4glich Gottesdienste sowie Konzerte und Ausstellungen statt \u2013 Besucher erleben sie als historisches Monument und als lebendiges Gotteshaus zugleich. Audioguides und F\u00fchrungen geben tiefere Einblicke in ihre lange Geschichte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
