This giant Gothic cathedral, which until its completion in 1880 had been under construction for over 500 years, is perhaps Germany's most famous religious structure and includes two huge towers that serve as the defining symbol of Cologne's skyline.
Jaw dropping cathedral.Wonderful to walk around.You can have an unhurried stroll and wonder at the skills involved in the conduction of this wonderful building.Not for the faint hearted is a trip up to the bell tower.Breathtaking in every sense of the word. Very busy in summer

The town hall of Rathaus is hard to miss as it's right in the old town and part of the Charlemagne Route. It's a put much of the facade is under covers dues to renovations, but what you can see is pretty. Even by the standards of Gothic architecture, the facade is adorned with an incredible number of statues. Inside you can see a painting of Charlemagne and two paintings of Napoleon and Josephine in the main hall.

This 12th-century building is where the Westphalian Peace Treaty was ratified.
With a typical Gothic façade, Muenster's town hall is a mid-14th century edifice. The characteristic gable was rebuilt true to the original in the 1950s. In 2015, it was awarded the European Heritage Label as the "Site of the Peace of Westphalia", which seems to be such a well fitting name for a place like Muenster, mainly a University and residential city where the number of bicycles exceed the number of people and where the old town is beautifully surrounded by a park.

We had a wonderful visit to this Palace in Corona-time. Must reserve and be patient on phone. We went directly to desk and got the last”tour “ of the day 3:30-4:30 pm when they close. The tour consists of a guard more than guide, who directs you to info sheet in your language. No real tours due to Covid. Gardens are lovely. No photos allowed inside palace so be sure to buy small guidebook in your language. Large book only available in German but luckily my husband reads it so he bought one. Sadly we didn’t have time for the hunting lodge. My impression was that this was like a mini-Versailles. We had time for lunch at the Bruhler Wirsthaus-former train station-excellent! We returned after the tour for coffee and apple cake-not a bit was left and now we have to have carrots and cheese n crackers for dinner since we ate it all! Go if you can!
