From around the 1290s, the Romanesque south aisle was replaced by two Gothic side aisles and the three wings of the cloister and the abbey buildings were built in Gothic forms, which today house the cathedral museum and the cathedral library.

The former monastery and collegiate church of St. Peter, known as Fritzlar Cathedral, is considered one of the most important Romanesque churches in Hesse.
The founding of the church and monastery around 722 by Boniface became the starting point for the urban development of Fritzlar. The present cathedral building, approximately 55 m high to the spire, is the centre of the town and shapes the cityscape.
