Dom St. Kilian, also called the Wurzburg Cathedral, is in Wurzburg, Bavaria, Germany. This Roman Cathollic cathedral is dedicated to Saint Kilian and is the seat of the Bishop of Wurzburg. The fourth largest Romanesque church in Germany, this cathedral measures 344 feet long.

A cathedral was first built on this site in 787, and then rebuilt in 855 after destruction by fire. In 1040 the present cathedral was built after fire damaged the second one.
