In the game
The great stone church at the heart of Jorvik, one of the tallest buildings in the game's England.
The real place
The minster Eivor would have seen was a smaller Anglo-Saxon church. Today's Gothic cathedral was built between 1220 and 1472; the Roman and Norman remains beneath it can be seen in the undercroft.
Visiting
Climb the 275 steps of the central tower for the best view of York. Entry is ticketed; tower climbs are timed.
