Xanten Cathedral (German: Xantener Dom), sometimes called St. Victor's Cathedral (German: St. Viktor Dom), is a Roman Catholic church situated in Xanten [and ...] is considered the biggest church between Cologne and the sea. [...]

"Dom" in German can mean both, cathedral and collegiate church. Even though usually translated as "cathedral", the Dom of Xanten is not the seat of a bishop.

The church owes its name to Victor of Xanten, a member of the Theban Legion who was supposedly executed in the 4th century in the amphitheater of Castra Vetera for refusing to sacrifice to the Roman gods. (wikipedia)
