Holiday activity in the winter holidays at KinderDomusMerseburch

Step into the world of emperors and kings. Our cathedral has seen a lot in its 1000-year history. Children can discover numerous myths and legends, important historical events and true celebrities of the Middle Ages among the ancient walls. In the KinderDomusMerseburch, we go on a fascinating search for clues together during the holidays, encounter thieving ravens, centuries-old magic formulas and the secrets of the cathedral building.

Prior booking via our Visitor Centre is strictly required.

"And then I'm a canon"
The canons of the cathedral chapter have been looking after the cathedral for centuries. Provost, cantor, treasurer and dean - what did they actually do? Where did they live? And who could actually become a canon? To answer these questions, the children slip into the role of the canons themselves and go on a mysterious search for clues through the south cloister, cathedral and chapter house. 

Our places in the KinderDomusMerseburch are primarily reserved for holiday children. Accompanying persons (max. 1 per child) receive discounted admission to Merseburg Cathedral including participation in a public guided tour of the cathedral. They pay only € 9.00 instead of € 12.50.
