Around 1516 the (formerly High Gothic) west portal (2) was expanded and redone in the late gothic style.

During the Baptist rule of Munster in 1534 and 1535, the cathedral was not spared from destruction at the hands of the baptists.
In the iconoclasm of 1534, numerous images and figures were destroyed, including those by Heinrich Brabender, as well as the original astronomical clock which dated from 1408 (since it was decorated with biblical images).

After the end of Baptist rule, the interior of the cathedral was renovated and the Chapter hall (T) was built.
Heinrich Brabender's son Johann Brabender made new sculptures to replace those that had been destroyed.
Ludger und Hermann tom Ring, two important Westphalian painters, repainted the cathedral.
Between 1540 and 1542, the extant Astronomical clock was installed.
The second rood screen, the Apostelgang, followed between 1542 and 1549 – it was demolished in 1870.

In the 16th century, the main entrance hall of the cathedral, the "Narthex" (F), and the southern extension of the east transept (M) were built, partially expanded and decorated with sculpture; towards the end of the 16th century an Armaria was added to the Ambulatory, the current Kreuzkapelle (R).

In 1663, Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen had three chapels (O, P & Q) built onto the ambulatory, south of the armaria.
These chapels, called the Von Galenschen Kapellen after him, mimic the shape of the armaria.
In 1697, the Vicars' sacristry (J) was built between the northern part of the east transept (the so-called Stephanuschor, K) and the northern side-aisle.
After the construction of the sacristry (X) in 1885, the cathedral treasury was built under the Vicars' sacristry.
Today the Sakramentskapelle is located here.
