Goslar Cathedral Porch (Domvorhalle)
Domvorhalle Goslar
The only surviving part of Goslar's vanished imperial cathedral, now displaying an 11th-century imperial throne.
The Cathedral of Sts. Simon and Jude, built by Henry III beside the Imperial Palace, was once one of the empire's most important churches. It was demolished in 1819–1822 because of long-term neglect, leaving only this Romanesque porch on the north side. The porch's exterior keeps painted stone carvings. Inside is displayed the 11th-century bronze imperial throne (Kaiserstuhl), said to have been used at imperial diets. It stands beside the car park below the Imperial Palace. It is small and can be seen together with the palace in about 15 minutes.
