St. Alban

St. Alban is the Roman Catholic parish church of Effelder in the Obereichsfeld region of Thuringia. It is popularly known as the Eichsfeld Cathedral, along with the Basilica of St. Cyriakus in Duderstadt. It is built at an altitude of 497 m and is thus the highest church in the Eichsfeld region. Its towering spire makes it visible from afar: from the Hohe Meißner, the Klüschen Hagis, the Hülfensberg, the Heldrastein and, on a clear day, even from the Harz Mountains.
