Cologne Cathedral

Cologne Cathedral was constructed during the gothic period, specifically between 1248-1880. This era was characterized by significant developments in architectural techniques and religious expression.

The construction was commissioned by the local bishop and diocese and took place during a time of growing urban populations and increasing religious devotion. The building has survived through centuries of history, witnessing the Reformation, World Wars, and post-war reconstruction.

Over the centuries, Cologne Cathedral has undergone several renovations and restorations, each adding to its historical significance while preserving its original character and purpose.
