Cologne Cathedral, the Koelner Dom

By Nick | Dec 20, 2007

As you get off the train in Cologne (Koeln), you can’t help but notice the large cathedral that over looks the train station.

“The mighty cathedral towers in Cologne, Germany are just a stone’s throw from the banks of the Rhine. Built over 600 years ago entirely in a high-Gothic style, it is Cologne’s most famous landmark and an UNESCO World Heritage site. Its most sacred treasure 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.”

When I visited Cologne, I was happy to have the Cathedral there. With such a large structure by the train station, you always know right where the train station is. As long as you don’t stray too far for the city center, the cathedral (Koelner Dom) will always be in sight.
