Fulda

Fulda lies along the Fulda River, where the Rhön’s lower slopes meet the rolling countryside of eastern Hesse. The city grew around a Benedictine abbey founded in 744 by Saint Sturm, a key centre of learning and pilgrimage in the early medieval Frankish realm. Fulda Cathedral, an early-18th-century Baroque landmark, contains the tomb of Saint Boniface, the missionary closely associated with the Christianisation of German lands. Nearby, the former prince-abbots’ residence and its gardens reflect Fulda’s later role as an ecclesiastical principality.
