Cathedral in Odenthal Germany

"Cathedral in Odenthal Germany"

Location: North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

The Altenberger Dom (also Bergischer Dom) is the former abbey church of Altenberg Abbey. Construction of the Gothic style abbey started in 1259. It located in Altenberg and now part of Odenthal in the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Until 1511, the church was the burial site of counts and dukes. Badly damaged after the monastery was dissolved in 1803 due to the rise of secularization in Germany, the church was rebuilt with support from Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, who decreed in 1857 that it was to serve as a parish church simultaneously for a Catholic and a Protestant parish. It's sometimes referred to as the Altenberg Cathedral, but technically it was never a cathedral with a bishop's seat.
