One of Cologne's highlights is its cathedral.
Built during the 630 years between 1248 and 1880 (...and I thought my reno took a long time to finish!), it is the largest gothic church in Northern Europe and was a one time the tallest structure in the world.
We climbed the endlessly spiraling staircase up about 100 meters into one of the towers, getting an incredible view of Cologne. We got there a little before 11:00am, and were up in the bell room when they started ringing.
Nice video!
