Blue, purple and pink hues blend together to create a beautiful calm atmosphere - the outline of the cathedral and the beautiful structure of the bridge can be seen. Clouds pass by, the fading daylight lights up and the cathedral and the bridge cast soft shadows on the water. The construction of the Cologne Cathedral started in 1248 and was completed in 1880, in 2022 the 700th anniversary of the consecration of the Gothic cathedral choir will take place.
In 1996 the cathedral was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Together with the Hohenzoller Bridge, it forms the most famous and largest landmarks of Cologne.
