Freiberg Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of St. Mary, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture located in Freiberg, Germany. Originally built as a Romanesque basilica in the 12th century, it was later transformed and expanded into a Gothic structure in the 15th century. The cathedral is renowned for its beautiful and intricate interior, which includes the famous Goldene Pforte (Golden Gate), a richly decorated sandstone portal. Additionally, the cathedral houses the historic Tulip Pulpit, an exquisite example of stone carving, and the Silbermann organs, which are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of Gottfried Silbermann, a renowned organ builder.
