Cologne Cathedral - a Gothic giant that began its construction in 1248. Germany carefully preserves it as the heart of old Cologne.

Did you know that the cathedral's twin spires, each standing at 157 meters tall, were only completed in 1880, over 600 years after construction began? This makes Cologne Cathedral the tallest twin-spired church in the world!

The cathedral is also a UNESCO World Heritage site and is home to the Shrine of the Three Kings, believed to contain the relics of the Biblical Magi.

Its intricate stained glass windows and stunning Gothic architecture make it a must-see for visitors from around the world.
