St. Afra Church. The church dates from 984. From 1205 it became part of a cloister until the cloister was dissolved in 1540. The church became Lutheran. The cloister buildings were turned into a school.

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.

Bradshaw's Descriptive Railway Hand-Book of Great Britain and Ireland of 1863 describes the Cathedral as follows: "The present Cathedral, lately restored, standing near the river, and dedicated to St. Mary, is the third on this site, the first one having been founded in the ninth century by King Offs, to atone for the murder of Ethelbert. It is a handsome cross, 325 feet long, begun by Bishop Herbert de Lozinga in 1079, when the Norman style prevailed, and finished by Bishop Borth in 1535, who built the beautiful north porch. The west front was spoiled by Wyatt, in restoring it after the fall of the tower above in 1786. There are two other Norman towers, and a great tower, which firmly support a tall spire. Some of the Gothic side chapels, and the monuments of Bishop Cantilupe, Bischop de Bethune &c., deserve notice. A curious Saxon map of the world is in the library. The college of the Vicars-Choral, and the grammar school are in the cloisters; the latter was founded in 1385."
