				About
				
					The Minster was built in three stages, the first beginning in the year 1120 under the dukes of Zähringen, the second beginning in 1210, and the third in 1230. The church became the seat of the Catholic archbishop of Freiburg, and thus a cathedral, in 1827. The tower has 16 bells, the oldest being the "Hosanna" bell from 1258, which weighs 3,290 kg.
