On the occasion of the Merseburg Castle Festival, you can go high up! You can reach the viewing platform of the south-west tower via the impressive roof truss of the cathedral. The fantastic view over the cathedral grounds and the roofs of the city and far into the region rewards you for the breathtaking climb.
The tower tours start on 21 June and 22 June 2025 at 12 noon and 2 pm respectively.
Sturdy shoes and a head for heights are required. The tower ascent is not suitable for children under the age of 6.
We recommend early booking via our Ticket shop or our Visitor Centre.
