The Cathedral of Saint Paul is one of my favorite buildings in town.
I spent summers in Germany growing up, and I love having this building so close because it reminds me a lot of Trier.
I haven’t seen many other comparable cathedrals in the U.S. and the building commands my attention anytime that I venture to that side of downtown St. Paul.

Interior Shots
The interior of the church is on par with anything that I’ve seen in Germany. My mother recently visited and said that it was impressive as the Kölner Dom.

The outside of the cathedral almost looks like a European church, minus the lack of dirt and acid rain stains.

I’ve never been to the church for a service, but I enjoy It as a free museum (and dog walk restroom.)
