Answer:

It was built as a monastic cathedral to house the shrine of Saint Cuthbert. It replaced an earlier church constructed in his honor. Originally, Durham Cathedral was built as a monastic cathedral for a community of Benedictine monks. The cathedral also served a political and military function by reinforcing the authority of the prince-bishops of the Catholic Church over England’s northern border with Scotland.
