Halle (Saale) 2013 – Dom zu Halle – Nave

The church dates from 1271 and was originally a cloister church. In 1541 the Reformation reaches Halle and the bishop Albrecht von Brandenburg takes most of the interior away. In the following years it becomes a protestant church. The famous composers Samuel Scheidt, Heinrich Schütz and George Frederic Handel have played in this church. Handel was church organist in 1702–1703.
