The Shrine of the Magi is the largest and most artistically significant reliquary of the Middle Ages. It was produced between 1190 and 1220 using copious amounts of gold, silver and gemstones.
Gerhard Richter used 11,263 squares of glass to create the window in the south transept. Based in Cologne, Richter is one of the world’s most influential artists.
Climbing the tower is an experience to remember. Ascend 533 steps for a view of the town centre and, when visibility is good, as far as Bonn and the Siebengebirge hills.Additionally you will also be able to take a closer look at the rooftop, features that are otherwise invisible and the many fascinating figures.
