The cathedral town of Freiberg is the epitome of the Saxon silver town. Magnificent patricians’ houses around one of the most beautiful market-places in Germany still bear witness to the former wealth of Freiberg.
A must is a visit to St Mary’s Cathedral with its world-famous ‘Golden Portal’. Relatively plain from the outside, the cathedral houses such treasures as the ‘Tulip Pulpit’ and the largest and most melodious Silbermann organ in the world.
The adventure of mining can be experienced at first hand with a visit to the oldest teaching mine in the world, the ‘Reiche Zeche’.
