Cologne Cathedral A Chronicle Of A Europe’s Gothic Marvel
The Cologne Cathedral, begun in the 13th century and completed in the 19th, ranks among Europe’s great Gothic monuments.

After a long halt, resumed work, and a final completion in 1880, the plans of the 13th century were finally realized in stone.
