Cologne Cathedral
Cologne Cathedral ((ドイツ語:Kölner Dom), officially ''ドイツ語:Hohe Domkirche St. Petrus'', , English: High Cathedral of Saints Peter and Mary) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Cologne, Germany. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne, currently, since his 2014 transfer from Berlin, Rainer Maria Cardinal Woelki, and of the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is a renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture and is a World Heritage Site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Cologne Cathedral )〕 It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day.〔(A Little Closer to Heaven ), the official movie, Cologne Cathedral website. Retrieved 7 November 2010.〕
Construction of Cologne Cathedral commenced in 1248 and was halted in 1473, leaving it unfinished. Work restarted in the 19th century and was completed, to the original plan, in 1880. It is long, wide and its towers are approximately tall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cologne Cathedral official website )〕 The cathedral is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe and has the second-tallest spires (after Ulm Minster. See info-box below.) Its two huge spires give it the largest façade of any church in the world. The choir has the largest height to width ratio, 3.6:1, of any medieval church.〔Banister Fletcher, ''A History of Architecture on the Comparative Method'〕
Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship for the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe".〔
