St. Peter's Cathedral was built between the 11th century and the 13th century. It started off as a Romanesque style pillar basilica which was built on the orders of Archbishops Adalbrand (1035 to 1043) and Adalbert (1043 to 1072). Two crypts and almost all of the walls and columns of the lower part of the cathedral are still remaining from that time.
