There were some fantastic stone work in the cathedral. This pulpit, called the Tulip Pulpit for its floral design, is completely free standing.

There were also plenty of reminders of Freiberg’s mining heritage too.

This miner remind me of the Disney’s seven dwarves. Perhaps the story of Snow White originated from this area?

But the highlight was the Golden Gate, which was part of the original 12th Century cathedral. As you can see, this was definitely a medieval extravaganza.

I really liked this place. It was certainly a hidden gem.
