Visit Lincoln Cathedral

Lincoln Cathedral is one of the finest medieval buildings in Europe, which towers above Lincoln, a prominent landmark for miles around.

In 1092 the Cathedral at Lincoln built by Bishop Remigius was consecrated.

Remigius, a Benedictine monk and supporter of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, was the first Norman Bishop of the largest diocese in medieval England, extending from the Humber to the Thames.

The cathedral of this diocese had been at Dorchester, near Oxford, but in 1072 William instructed that the Bishopric should be moved to Lincoln.

In August 2005 Lincoln Catherdal became the location for filming scenes for the film "The Da Vinci Code"

Exhibition
See the “Da Vinci Codel” exhibition in the chapter house which includes some of the props from the film. It is open during normal visiting hours.
