As soon as we exited the hauptbahnhof we saw the looming cathedral. It was incredibly large and overwhelming. What a sight! Unfortunately we arrived during a mass, so were unable to see all the nooks and crannies of this immense church, as most of the church is off limits during mass times.

Cologne Cathedral was begun in 1248 and not completed until 1880. The Gothic interior is a masterpiece some 141 feet in height. The choir stalls date from 1310 and the Cathedral contains medieval stained glass. The visitor can only marvel at how these craftsmen were able to complete such a work of art so long ago.
