A road and rail junction and cultural centre, Paderborn is the marketing and export centre for the surrounding agricultural region; Paderborn bread, cattle, and beer are well known. The city is also a centre of heavy industry and of the manufacture of furniture, motor-vehicle parts, machinery, and metal products. Massive destruction in World War II greatly altered the city's appearance, but some old buildings survived, and many have been restored. Particularly notable are the three-gabled Renaissance town hall (1613–16), the Baroque Franciscan church (1681), with a fine facade by Antonio Petrini, and the cathedral (11th–13th century), with a typical Westphalian tower and a monumental carved portal. Other buildings include several 11th–13th-century churches, the classical Gymnasium (high school; 1612), the philosophy and theology academy, and the Jesuit church (1682–86). The diocesan museum contains the Madonna of Bishop Imad, an important 11th-century sculpture. Pop. (2003 est.) 141,800.
