At 515 ft.(157 m), the cathedral is the tallest twin-spired church in the world, and it features the second-tallest spires and is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe.
This is Iconic Builds, and in this episode, we will look at the Cologne Cathedral, Germany's most famous landmark, which is flooded with 20.000 visitors daily.
Although The Cologne Cathedral began to be built in 1248, it took more than 600 years to finish; it still dominates the city's skyline. But the Cologne Cathedral has a history dating back to 1248, back to the early Christian period.
Christian churches have stood where the Cologne Cathedral now stands since the fourth century. The Cologne Cathedral was the tallest building in the world when it was finished on August 14, 1880, and remained so until 1884.
The Cologne Cathedral is home to numerous and diverse works of art. The 13th century saw the creation of the oldest stained-glass windows in the cathedral. A massive stained-glass window by Cologne-based artist Gerhard Richter finished in 2007, is more contemporary in design and a long-lasting replacement for 19th-century glass shattered during World War II.
Nonetheless, the Cologne Cathedral Workshop's current key priorities are the maintenance and safeguarding of the priceless historical windows and the restoration of the stonework, which has been significantly harmed by weathering and climatic factors.
