Must see · Church · Tourist Spot
Paderborn Cathedral (Dom zu Paderborn) is dedicated to St. Mary, St. Kilian, and St. Liborius. The cathedral, largely dating from the 13th century, is popular for its Romanesque-Gothic architecture. In the inner courtyard, you can see "Window of Three Hares," a famous 16th-century carving that depicts three rabbits in a triangle. This symbol can be found throughout the city as well.
