The Cäcilienkirche (St Cecilia’s Church) looks a lot like it did when it was completed in 1160 and in 1956 became the venue for a captivating museum of medieval liturgical art.
Cologne’s position in the medieval Catholic world is underlined by examples of craftsmanship that would each be worth a visit in their own right.
There’s goldsmithery, sculpture in wood and stone, stained glass, painting, carved ivory, textiles and manuscripts.
