St. Peter's Cathedral (Schleswig Cathedral)

Highlight • Religious Site

The most significant medieval architectural monument in the city of Schleswig is the almost 900-year-old St. Petri Cathedral. As soon as you enter the imposing interior of the house of worship, church history washes over you.
From the corner of your eye, you can see many sights from the Romanesque and Gothic construction periods. Isolated influences from the Renaissance and Baroque periods are also recognizable.
The Adoration of the Magi altar, with its life-sized, fully sculpted figures from the year 1300, is among the oldest sacred furnishings and earliest examples of its kind north of the Alps.
Historians suspect that St. Petri Cathedral was built around 1105, possibly on the foundations of a predecessor building.
In 1300, an extensive redevelopment of St. Petri Cathedral began, lasting for 100 years. During this construction phase, the so-called "Schwahl" was also created, which today hosts the Schwahlmarkt, a Christmas market, well-known far beyond the city limits of Schleswig.

View over the Schlei

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Giant of Ulsnis

Highlight • Monument

Where Ulsnis is today, there once lived a giant called the Old Man. His son got into a fight with him and moved to the other side of the Schlei. They threw giant stones at each other until both were fatally wounded.

The Old Man fell headfirst into the Schlei, where the peninsula "Nes" on the Gunnebyer Noor now lies. The place is now named Ulsnis after the Old Man (Ools Nes).
