York Minster
A Masterpiece of Gothic Architecture
York Minster dominates the city skyline and offers breathtaking architecture, stunning stained glass, and a rich history that spans centuries.
Visit one of the largest and most beautiful cathedrals in Northern Europe
York Minster is one of the most important Gothic cathedrals in Europe, with a history that stretches back to the 7th century. As you approach the Minster, you’ll immediately be struck by the grandeur of its architecture, with intricate stonework and towering spires.
Inside, the Minster is equally awe-inspiring. The Great East Window, the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world, tells biblical stories in exquisite detail. You can also explore the Minster’s underground chambers, which reveal the Roman and Norman foundations that lie beneath.
For those who don’t mind heights, the climb up the central tower rewards visitors with stunning views over the city of York and the surrounding countryside. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a peaceful place to reflect, York Minster is not to be missed.
