 | Cologne Kölner Dom (Cologne Cathedral) Reviews | 1 - 10 of 47 |  |
 by BillNJ
The Cathedral is a sturdy structure built to last. In World War II, the Cathedral suffered 14 hits by Allied bombers -- but, fortunately, it did not collapse. By 1956, the repairs and restoration of the war damage was complete.

Nonetheless, it is still an amazing cathedral, one that took 632 years to complete! 632 year!!! Oh my, it's mind-boggling to me! What were those people doing with their time all those years! Leave a Comment

Frankly, I'm not one who'd fall in love with a cathedral that is black in color. I like things bright & sunny, especially with regards to a place of worship :-). Leave a Comment

 Entrancegates of the cathedral by Pavlik_NL
Irina's first inside visit to a non-Orthodox church was in the Kölner-dom. Can you imagine how overwhelmed she was? We spend a few hours, just sitting in this magnificent building that miraculously survived the bombing-raits during WW-II. From the outside, the Dom is already a true work of art and inside this only is underlined. Leave a Comment

For 3DM (half that if you have a student card) you can climb the cathedral tower and look at the bells. The main reason for this, obviously, is to look at the view from the top, although 552 steps is quite a climb, especially when it is crowded, the staircase is narrow and spiral, and for the first 300 there is only one route for ascending and descending, so there are plenty of 'traffic jams'. The viewing platform is a bit cramped (but I don't suppose it can be helped, really!) but the views are spectacular. (Sorry, I've forgotten to scan my photo of the view, so you'll have to imagine it for now!!!) Leave a Comment

In the presence of the Church, however, I was in awe of all the detail and craft so finely packed together, like an expansive 3-D jigsaw puzzle. I didn't explore with much more than my eyes, and that was enough for a first visit. Amazing place! Leave a Comment
