A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, Cologne Cathedral is one of the finest church
buildings in the Christian world. Gargantuan proportions and craftsmanship of
unparalled quality have made the cathedral a defining example of the Gothic style.
The pinnacle of Gothic architecture
Cologne’s mighty cathedral towers just a stone’s throw from the banks of the Rhine.
Modelled on a French design and built entirely in a high-Gothic style, it is Cologne’s
most famous landmark and one of the largest cathedrals in Germany. Its steep, vaulted
ceilings are supported by more than one hundred pillars and light streams in through a
multitude of stained-glass windows. The cathedral’s most sacred treasure and the most
important reliquary in the western world is the Shrine of the Three Magi, a magnificent
gilded sarcophagus thought to hold the remains of the Three Wise Men. More than 500 steps
lead up the south tower, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city.
