Review:

Located in the St. Petri Dom Bremen (Bremen Cathedral), Bleikeller, also known as the Lead Cellar, is a crypt below the nave of the cathedral that is home to the well-preserved, mummified remains of eight medieval archbishops. Discovered by an organ-maker working on the church in the 17th century, the crypt was once used to store lead for renovations, and it is thought the dry air in the room has caused the natural mummification of the corpses. Today, the mummies are housed in glass-topped coffins and open for the public to view on guided or self-guided tours.
