Köln entdecken

Cologne Cathedral is a Gothic Catholic cathedral and the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne, begun in 1248 and completed to its medieval design in 1880. Its twin spires rise 157 metres, making it the tallest twin-spired church in the world, and it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.

Great St. Martin Church is a Romanesque Catholic church in Cologne's old town, its foundations resting on a former Roman chapel on an island in the Rhine. The current buildings, including the crossing tower that is a landmark of the Old Town skyline, were built between 1150 and 1250, after earlier use as a Benedictine monastery.
