They remind us that the cathedral was also used as a baroque court church and tell us a lot about the burial culture of the Wettin dynasty during the baroque period.
Due to limited seating capacity, pre-registration via the Visitor Service (www.merseburger-dom.de/service-merseburger-dom-kontakt/) is recommended.
