Since the 7th century, York Minster has stood as a beacon of Christianity in northern England. Today, it continues to thrive as a church rooted in daily worship and prayer. This magnificent building was constructed to honor God. Every detail, from the intricate stonework to the incomparable collection of medieval stained glass, narrates the story of Jesus Christ. You're invited to experience this sacred place and the divine love at its core, which has drawn people from around the world for over a millennium.
Embark on a captivating 2,000-year journey in the interactive underground chambers of Revealing York Minster in the Undercroft. It's an adventure where you can trace the steps of Roman soldiers and discover the stories of individuals whose lives were touched by York Minster. These underground chambers have been completely revamped with engaging audio-visual and interactive exhibits that reveal the significance of the cathedral's cherished artifacts like never before.
When visiting, make sure to spend some time in the Chapter House, a stunning octagonal room known for its exquisite acoustics and beautiful stained glass. If you’re lucky, you might catch a choir rehearsal, where the harmonies resonate perfectly in the grand space. The Minster Library is another hidden gem, holding a vast collection of rare books and manuscripts that history buffs will find intriguing.
