HALLESCHER DOM - THE CATHEDRAL

Halle Cathedral is the city's oldest religious building. Its splendid Gothic architecture was refurbished during the Renaissance. All painted white, with its ^14th-century portal, it's a monument as remarkable as it is original. Restored and perfectly painted, Halle Cathedral, towering above the River Saale on the edge of the city center, is a rare blend of Gothic structure and Renaissance cladding.
