As part of the special guided tour "Healing through the power of faith" through the cathedral and cathedral abbey archives, visitors can learn interesting facts about the use and effects of historical healing formulas.
There are many depictions of saints in Merseburg Cathedral. These were regarded by people as mediators to God. They helped various people and professions and were also asked for help in cases of illness. Prayers were said to give the herbs and other remedies even more power. The Merseburg Cathedral Abbey Library also contains such old healing formulas in the form of sayings and prayers.
We recommend early booking via our Ticket shop or our Visitor Centre.
