Domschatz Minden
The Minden Cathedral Treasury is one of the most important collections of Christian art in Germany. Exhibits of European standing, such as the 11th-century Petri shrine or the Minden Cross from the early 12th century, characterise the exhibition.
The "talking reliquary", the 11th-century reliquary arm of St Margaret and the 12th-century Fatimid Hedwig glass are further unique exhibits in the cathedral treasury that have made art history. Henry the Lion also left behind a special work of art in Minden.
The cast lion was a gift from Henry to the Bishop of Minden on the occasion of the Duke's wedding to the 12-year-old Matilda of England in Minden Cathedral in 1168.
