Things to do in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia: The Best Churches & Cathedrals
There are 2,000 years of history in Cologne, and visitors here will find everything from Roman towers to Gothic churches to fine examples of modern architecture. Cologne has a variety of museums, too—check out the Museum of Applied Art, the Museum Ludwig and, if you have a sweet tooth, the Chocolate Museum. Be forewarned, though—the gift shop at the latter will utterly ruin your diet.

This giant Gothic cathedral, which until its completion in 1880 had been under construction for over 500 years, is perhaps Germany's most famous religious structure and includes two huge towers that serve as the defining symbol of Cologne's skyline.

The church, located only 5 minutes walk from the Dom and the railway station, is certainly worth a visit. It is one of the 12 romanesque churches in Cologne, and is architecturally very beautiful. Even more interesting are the frescoes adoring some of the side chapels, as well as some statues. There is no information about the church, except f a webpage in German detailing all the romanesque churches.
