Cathedral of Trier
The
High Cathedral of Saint Peter in Trier
is a
Roman Catholic
church in
Trier
,
Rhineland-Palatinate
,
Germany
. It is the oldest
cathedral
in the country. The edifice is notable for its extremely long life span under multiple different eras each contributing some elements to its design, including the center of the main
chapel
being made of
Roman brick
laid under the direction of
Saint Helen
, resulting in a cathedral added onto gradually rather than rebuilt in different eras. Its dimensions, 112.5 m length by 41 m width, make it the largest church structure in Trier. In 1986 it was listed as part of the
Roman Monuments, Cathedral of St. Peter and Church of Our Lady in Trier UNESCO World Heritage Site
.
