    This famous example of romanic church architecture is in walking distance of tram station Rudolfplatz. The interior of the church is surprisingly modern, mostly added after the destructions of WW2. An interesting detail are the wooden sculptures of the Twelve Apostles in the wing of the basilica.

    St. Andreas
    by MichaelFalk1969
    Another romanic-style church in Cologne, only a short walk away from the Kölner Dom (cathedral). St. Andreas features the splendid "Maccabean Shrine" as a major work of art where scenes from the Old Testament - the fight of the jewish Maccabean rebel leaders against Greek-Macedonian invaders - are depicted.

    St. Aposteln
    by MichaelFalk1969
    Cologne is not only famous for its Gothic Cathedral but also for twelve churches built in the romanic architectural style. Romanic architecture dominated Western Europe from 750 to 1200, mainly in the form of churches and sacral art. Some of the best-known romanic churches in Cologne are St. Pantaleon, St. Martin, St. Gereon ans St. Aposteln.

    St. Maria Lyskirchen
    by MichaelFalk1969
    One of the oldest romanic churches in Cologne, with a slight pink colour - just opposite the Chocolate museum. St. Maria Lyskirchen is especially remarkable as the ceiling is painted with (now slightly fading) scenes from the Bible, and the church has a few historic glass-stained windows.

    One of the most impressive Rhineland churches, really representing the particular Romance style found here. There has been a church on this site since 827, which was early on dedicated to Saint Aposteln. The church you now see was started by Archbishop Pilgrim in the 11th century, but was then much expanded in the following centuries to what you see today. It was heavily damaged in WWII but restored in the 1950s. Closed Tuesdays.

    Another fascinating Romanesque church, rebuilt after WWII devastation, on the north side of the city center. Austere interior, a beautiful worship space, interest bronze relief on the doors.

    Saint Maria Himmelfahrt Church
    by kentishgirl
    This church is located on the Marzellenstrasse, near to the hauptbahnhof. I only looked at the church from the outside and the facade was very impressive - the church was built between 1618 - 1629 and is of baroque design.

    it is one of the important churches of Cologne. It is situated in Altstadt area just about on the bank of river Rhine. It is easily visible as one walks down the Alstadt area towards to river.

    Richly Rebuilt Romanesque
    by yooperprof
    St. Gereon has a spectacular interior that really should be seen by any serious church-crawlers who come to Colgone! Like so many other structures in the city, it was devastated by the intense bombing that flattened most of the city during World War II. But it has been painstakingly reconstructred, so that it's very difficult to tell what's original and what is "modern restoration." Wonderful tall dome in the center of the crossing, beautiful wall frescoes in the choir, impressive modern, austere sculptures decorating the nave.

    The Church of the Holy Apostles is just off a bit to the west of Neumarkt and easily dominates that square. Archbishop Pilgrim began its construction in the early 1000s. Apparently the church has its own beergarden, but unfortunately my guide Christolph didn't allow me a stop here.
