Cologne Cathedral
Domkloster 4, 50667 Köln, GermanyAbout
The Gothic cathedral dominates the skyline of Cologne and is one of Germany's most famous landmarks. It is also one of the most beautiful examples of Gothic and Neo-Gothic architecture in the world. Building of the Cologne Cathedral was commenced in 1248, it took over 600 years to complete but the cathedral still dominates the skyline of the city. The Cologne Cathedral dominates the city of Cologne even today, it can be viewed from anywhere in the city, the cathedral's famous twin towers stand out boldly as the symbol of Cologne's proud history. On the outside the cathedral is dark and rather menacing; inside it is just awe-inspiring.
