museum in der kaiserpfalz (imperial palace museum)

This was very interesting. Lots to see. My only disappointment was that very little interpretation on items is in English. Luckily, we had friends with us who explained things to us. Well worth a visit.

The Imperial Palace not only provides the visitor witha fascinating historical overview, but also charts Paderborn’s place in world history.With its ceremonial chapels and ancient cellars, the Imperial Palace presents afascinating picture of life in the first half of the eleventh century and is well worth a visit. (Do visit the little chapel halfway between the museum and the cathedral, close to the museum's entrance: it's the oldest chapel in Byzantine style north of the Alps. - And before entering the cathedral from that side, do look at the sources and steps under the cathedral, you can switch on the illumination on the right side of the window.)

Die Ausgrabungen aus dem frühen Mittelalter und sogar des Kaiserthron Karl des Großen, der hier zu Besuch waren, beeindrucken sehr

naar de tentoonstelling Credo geweest, die tot 3 november plaatsvindt op 3 locaties in Paderborn. in dit museum zeer fraai overzicht vanaf de Karolingische tijd, goed neergezet met duidelijke informatie. mooi gebouw.
