Domschatz Minden
----------------

Discover Christian art treasures from eleven centuries

 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.
