Lovely refuge from the big city around it.
One of the famous Romanesque churches of Köln - most of them where heavily rebuilt after the Second World War. The plan is very interesting.
Impressive interior.

Отличное место. Мало народу, душевно атмосфера.
Very plain. Not very exciting on the inside. It's tough because there are so many amazing churches in Europe to compare it to.
Really quiet area just a bit outside of the city, this romanesque church is a nice hidden gem with a green area around
One of the more famous Romanesque churches in Cologne, it has a yellow geometrical structure and the interior decagonal dome and organ are beautiful. Don't forget to see the large sculpted head of the decapitated Roman soldier St. Gereon outside the church!
