Cologne Cathedral Tour on 18th April 2019 (1 hour)
Cologne Cathedral is the centre and hallmark of this city on the Rhine. The cornerstone of this Gothic cathedral was laid on the Feast of the Assumption of Mary on 15 August 1248 and became one of the most important places of pilgrimage in Europe. Due to the building’s impressive Gothic architecture, the outstanding stained-glass windows and the shrine of the Three Wise Men, and the many other important works of art, UNESCO declared Cologne Cathedral a World Heritage Site in 1996.
