| —Age of Empires IV description | ||
The Regnitz Cathedral is a religious landmark available to the Holy Roman Empire and Order of the Dragon in Age of Empires IV in the Feudal Age. It acts as a Monastery. Additionally Relics placed within all allowable buildings (such as an Outpost, Dock, or other Monastery) generate 100% more gold every minute.

The Regnitz cathedral provides a strong economic boost into the mid- and late-games. For the Holy Roman Empire, it synergizes well with the ability of the Holy Roman Empire to create Prelates in earlier ages and achieve faster Castle Age timings, allowing them to gather Relics as soon as they enter Castle Age and gain an immediate power spike. For the Order or the Dragon, which cannot create Prelates until the Castle Age, it still gives them an immediate building from which to create them. Because of its dependence on Relics, this landmark gives diminishing advantages if facing an opponent that can gain early map control and deny Relic gathering. That being said, for the Holy Roman Empire, because their alternate Castle Age landmark, the Burgrave Palace, gives no economic advantages, the Regnitz Cathedral is still typically preferable if a longer game is expected, even when they can only gain access to one or two Relics. For the Order of the Dragon, because the Burgrave Palace does provide an economic boost in the form of cheaper infantry, the choice between the two landmarks should be weighed depending on how many Relics can be expected to be gained.
When gathering Relics, it is preferable to store them in a building other than the Regnitz cathedral, such as a Keep, Outpost, or Dock, since they generate the same amount of gold, but provide other powerful advantages. A Keep with a garrisoned Relic and Emergency Repairs active can provide formidable map control, especially in the Castle Age, locking down resources and providing military support.
