On the north side in the inner courtyard of the cathedral cloister (also known as the "Pürting" in Paderborn), you can find the famous 16th-century three-rabbit window, whose tracery is made up of the aforementioned three rodents, which the artist cleverly grouped together so that they only have three ears and yet each rabbit has two spoons ("The rabbit and the spoon three, and yet each rabbit has two"). The three-rabbit window is an old landmark of Paderborn and a lucky charm that every craftsman wandering through Paderborn must have seen.
Special sights: Paradise portal (before 1240), Pietà (around 1380), Gothic high altar (late 15th century), double Madonna (around 1480), monumental tomb of Prince-Bishop Dietrich IV von Fürstenberg (+ 1618), Régence-style pulpit (1736).
